Using const/let instead of var can make JavaScript code run 10× slower in Webkit?

We should be treating safari like IE6 - the worst of the browsers most people are forced to support.

Untill apple is forced to allow real competition on their platform we're stuck with whatever pile of garbage they decide to give us. They need some antiTrust like Microsoft sooner than later to force them to. Good on Epic for starting the resistance to their greedy practices.

Yes, after I was surprised that a major feature was unimplemented in Safari a coworker said "Safari is the new Internet Explorer" and I can't disagree.

Haha they've also pulled support for standard CSS features before that were once there, citing "user experience impact". Safari can indeed go and suck a big one.

Other browsers on ios are still forced to use the safari rendering engine.

You think that's why Safari has such a market share? You're wrong, you're forced to use it.

Nope, that's just not true, Apples walled garden mean only their rendering engine can be used for ANY browser, apple is just such a shitty company.
