So i was looking at the live stream reply yesterday and I saw that Cassie was using the Safari browser vs Chrome. I’m just wondering, although we cant endorse products will it be better for Q users to interact with the program on Apple and Apple IOT vs Google/Android products? Im just trying to prepare for 2.0 and continual usage with Quillibrium. Or is this irrelevant?
From a standpoint of platform use-ability, I don’t believe it would make much sense to optimize a decentralized platform/network to operate for one hardware/software provider vs another.
For one the resources to optimize it could be used to make it usable on a wider variety of devices.
Another thought is that it just isn’t good for a decentralized platform to focus on one provider-- it would be kinda ironic.
It’s one thing if “better” is just what happens because of the nature of that provider’s hardware or software, it’s another to actively push people to use that by optimizing for it.
I use Safari as a protest vote against Chrome. Once Ladybird has better coverage of web support I’ll use it too. Regarding basic web standards, one of the things I remarked was about was how Chrome had butchered largeBlob support for WebAuthN, pushing for PRF. Safari’s technology preview release is intended to now support PRF, but sadly it’s still buggy and crashes. The next dev call on Sunday I’m going to demonstrate the non-largeBlob integration for widest level of browser support and what the ramifications are in the development process.
