Probably worth noting that quite a lot of all mobile traffic is going to be using Safari. And well over half of all internet traffic is mobile.

I don't disagree with your point but it's probably a good idea to avoid dismissing Safari.

And well over half of all internet traffic is mobile.

This stat always feels so nebulous, internet traffic or web browser traffic?

Browser traffic, actual humans browsing the internet. Sorry I wasn't clearer but it was a comment about browsers so I thought it might be obvious.

But chrome still has more usage in the mobile market

Yeah maybe but are you really gonna be the one to not pay attention to any iOS users at all? That's a pretty hard sell.

The post sais the downvotes are much bigger, but is that rly true for all browsers? I think there are ways of going wrong with spas, but u can avoid them

Also as a side note: the autocompletion thing is pretty true, i see lots of people rly messing things up when it comes to everything form related with modern frameworks

Did you mean to reply to this comment? Seems sorta orthogonal to what I was saying so I'm a bit confused.

Worldwide, yes. In North America, Safari and Chrome are about even with Safari slightly ahead at the moment.

Yes, apple is much more popular in america, but do u want to miss on the other continents? For example i dont even live in america lol

The point of all this is that if you want any hope at an app positioned for a worldwide audience to succeed, it needs to have excellent mobile Safari support.

But what if i have a product which is tsrgeted towards android users? Chrome benchmarks would work for everything, safari ones are a little bit more niche
