Safari is such a weirdly buggy browser. Sometimes it just stops rendering pages until I restart it. Sometimes it randomly says that both the page I am on and the page I am trying to go to have stopped responding and when I click "Visit Page" everything works fine. I f'ing hate chrome, but i don't have to restart chrome very often.

@davetron5000 Every new release I try to use Safari as my main browser and every time there’s some bug that annoys me to no end, so I switch back to using Chrome.

The latest bug for me was related to automatic AirPods switching between the phone and Mac. I love this feature and it works for me 99% of the time flawlessly. The 1% percent is when AirPods are connected to the phone and you press Cmd-T to open a new tab in Safari… And no audio is playing… like WHAT???

@davetron5000 It’s so frustrating because a lot of bugs are not even related to WebKit and the engine being weird. Safari as an app is just not good.

@ilyadh yeah the AirPods thing drives me up the wall. I thought I had disabled it on all my devices but it still manages to “smartly” connect to the wrong device.

One amazing Safari bug that was fixed was that it would not show YouTube ad videos, just audio 🤣
