Not only Safari is unable to show basic elements (less than Gnome Web which is Webkit based too), there’s no single proper tool to export the fricking SVG to GIF. I’ve never wanted to flip a table that much in my life.

    So what? Fuck Safari. Hardly anyone uses it anyway.

    Just log the user agent and if it comes up as safari, redirect people to the Firefox download page :)

    Safari was also late to implement AV1 video support. Based on caniuse website, only MS Edge was later, though you could install an extension to get it running.

    Oh, and when I say “support”, I mean you’d have to buy a new device.

    Supported only on devices with hardware decoder, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, M3 MacBook Pro, etc.

    Edit: Chrome since v. 70 (2018-10-16), Firefox fully since v. 67 (2019-05-21), Firefox partially since v. 55 (2017-08-08) whatever “Not supported by default, but can be enabled” means, Safari since v. 17 on newer devices (2023-09-26)

      Apple was very late to add AV1 support to their ecosystem in general. As you state, support for hardware decoding was only added with the M3/A17 Pro chips in 2023. There’s still no AV1 hardware encoder on any of Apple’s chips.

      I think they were waiting on H.266 and whether it succeeds for too long, they were/are big on H.265 (and all the other HEVC-related stuff like HEIC) so that’d make sense from that perspective.

      “Not supported by default, but can be enabled”

      If it’s about Firefox, it means you can go to the dusty basement breakerbox that’s about:config and turn it on yourself.

    I heard that SVGs in <img> tags are more restricted than ones in <object> or plain <svg> tags. Try using these instead.

    In my experience inkscape does a great job importing custom svg’s. From there you can export them in other formats

    Well yeah, you didn’t withhold money from them. If you’re going to throw money at them for removing features every new release, why the hell would they update their browser?

    Assuming you haven’t tried it, what about an online converter to APNG? Those look like they are almost fully supported by every major browser (and have transparency!)

    As for the online converter part, it might end up looking terrible but it’s a place to start I guess

      Alternatively, the less proper tool: Record your screen, cropped to the SVG.

      GIF, MP4 and such, they’re just a bunch of pixel grids. They don’t care where those pixels came from.

    Use lottiefiles or something similar. That seems the defacto standard for vector animations on mobile and the web.

    Meanwhile it’s been like 10–2 yrs and Firefox still hasn’t got a month picker. It’s so weird sometimes.

      what do you mean by month picker? Like, you want a dialog specifically for picking a month and nothing else?

      because there’s a perfectly fine date picker, including month selection

        Well, that ‘perfectly fine’ date picker has some usability issues, like being way too small to enter dates comfortably, and missing features like the inability to highlight dates, and you can even enter invalid dates like September 31.

            Which Firefox desktop version are you using then ? Because in nightly, it does not work.

            And mdn says no aswell

            Edit: And the ticket is still open

      Can we talk about why the hell the date-time picker is not in UTC or ISO8601 by the way?? Am I the only one hacking the format to inject the time zone so the server has some type of fucking clue as to what it is? Even then you’re still screwed because DST may have changed between the current date and/or time and the one selected.
