Alex, you seem to be saying that any criticism of Safari (even if it’s unwarranted and unrelated) is justified by the rendering engine monopoly on iOS.
That’s childish. It does your/our cause more harm than good.
Jen’s tweet leans on obsfucation to make it seem like the work here was equivalent. It wasn’t. @rob_dodson did the initial work on :focus-visible & shipped 18 months ago. Safari is the laggard: chromestatus.com/features#focus… Updates are good, but this is apples/oranges.
Do you realise how childish you sound? “We shipped it first, nah-na-na-nah-nah!” Have some self-awareness. You’re better than this. adactio.com/notes/18801
Anyway, you can compare/contrast the scale of work that was done in Chromium and WebKit here for yourself: bugs.webkit.org/showdependency… chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src…
Jeremy, you’ve projected a strawman argument onto me, and now won’t engage with the evidence that these are not the same thing in the slightest. What’s going on here?
