You’ve obviously never met a web developer

As a web developer, I’m ok with all browsers except Safari

What? I’m ok with none of them

What’s up with safari? I used to dislike it but it grew on me. Seems pretty light and quick, and it doesn’t ask me to sign into it constantly.

It’s totally fine to use, but it’s a pretty big pain to develop for. And you’re forced to, since it’s forced on every single iOS user (third-party browsers on iOS are essentially Safari with a custom UI due to Apple’s walled garden policies).
Safari is notorious for adopting open web standards and APIs incredibly late or not at all, leading many to believe that it’s holding back the ability for web apps to achieve more native-app like capabilities on purpose. Right now, some major APIs like Web Bluetooth and USB are not supported on iOS safari, even though they have been on Android Chrome & Firefox for years.
It also just behaves slightly differently & sometimes even explicitly off-spec compared to Chromium and Firefox engines in so many small ways that you quite often have to debug strange Safari-only bugs. It’s just incredibly annoying.
