only WebKit is truly optimized and safe for iPhone users
So that’s why it interprets certain standards differently than all other engines. Must be the security.
The amount of rendering errors I have to debug just for iOS is annoying. Especially, since you need a MacBook AND an iPhone to debug this bad engine properly, so either me or my employer needs to buy into their ecosystem.
For some reason I thought the Safari engine was proprietary, but you’re right, you totally can.
However, you need to have the specific Webkit version on your system that’s also used on the iOS release where the bug is present. Which can be a real pain to manage and I imagine compiling this engine will take quite a while.
Still better than buying unnecessary, overpriced hardware, though! I will for sure check this out soon.

Do you? WebKit is open-source and other browsers use it too, GNOME Web (Epiphany) for example.
