To avoid regulation, Apple said it had three Safari browsers (www.theregister.com)

Fuck apple. I love that the EU is constantly forcing them to be less shitty. And apple no doubt is super pissed. Being shitty is their business model

Gotta use what you have.

I guess lawyers salary often can be considered compensation for suffering through the bullshit their clients send them through.

From a coding perspective, they are all quite distinct. However, I don't doubt they were using that argument just to weasel out of getting regulated

I would argue that iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari are not really that different though.

That’s what I mean, would you say iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari don’t share a good chunk of their codebase?

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

The vast majority of the code is WebKit, which is the same across platforms. The UI is a small amount of code compared to WebKit, and even then I’m sure there is a lot of sharing between the iOS and iPadOS versions.
