Nice now fix 3D transforms, SVG animations and clip-path or give me 200 hours of my life back. Safari rendering engine is a bug infested nightmare.


If I remember correctly, Safari addressed many transform-related bugs two years ago, which resulted in me noticing fewer bugs (quite drastically). Around that time, Safari became my primary development browser, which may have also contributed to this observation.

Based on Web Platform Test [0], it looks like Chromium browsers are not performing any better in this area.

But I feel the pain of having to carefully test 2D/3D transform and animation on all browsers across platforms (even Safari on iOS and macOS can have different behaviors).


You're getting downvoted but to be honest, it's true -- Safari's layout engine and JS execution is just so glitchy and unpredictable. I'm guessing it's because they're prioritizing speed/efficiency over accuracy, but as a web dev it's...frustrating.
