Suggesting Chrom(ium)e or Firefox on OS X these days is unacceptable. It's like using an awful cross platform app. They drain your battery and look like shit.

how do i make safari close the tab it opens when it downloads certain files? you know, they end up leaving an empty tab just sitting there?

it's some IE-tier behavior, even chrome auto-closes download tabs

ah, the opera shills are getting crafty. but not crafty enough
>>
>>54666758
>>
>>54666459
I've used Safari as my main browser since 2012 but I switched to Chrome a few months ago. It's really ugly compared to Safari and there are some annoyances (e.g. the download bar) but at least everything just worksâ„¢.

The thing is that no one gives a shit about desktop Safari – there isn't even a decent adblocking solution for it so I just ended up using a hosts file which is not perfect. I'm kinda amazed how no one has made a content blocker extension that doesn't break stuff yet.
>>

so, you can edit SCSS files in safari and save them directly to your source folder (automatically, without having to pinpoint like a retard to the file destination [like you did in your SS])???

just fuck off, and keep using your shit browser. it'll just make me more productive in comparison to shit tier devs like you

would you use MS Edge/MS IE on Windows? Nope. Because everyone knows IE is shit and Edge has nothing (extensions, features... nope).
Same goes for Safari. Why would you use a shitty browser limited to one platform? Use chrome/ff and be happy on all OSs.

>>54667135
Not a web dev so I had to do some digging but Safari supports source maps that enable correct editing of SCSS and other generated CSS. The save directory issue I could see being problematic, however I don't really see the draw of using the tiny little editor in the dev tools, surely the source file is on disk you'd edit it using a 'real' editor?

Also your CSS is shit.

Where as Chrome runs out of memory and closes them all for you? I'm confused.
>>
>>54667410
All you need is a way to initiate this javascript while the webm is open:
javascript:var%20vids=document.getElementsByTagName("video");%20for%20(i=0;%20i<vids.length;%20i++)%20vids[i].setAttribute("loop",%20"true");%20void%200;

>>54667437
because webm is actually really gud. it should replace the .gif. smaller file sizes on average, plus features like support for seeking, pause, play, subtitles and moar

it's a really great format, and apple best start supporting it.

put a feature request in to the Safari team
>>
>>54667405
I just tested safari, believing you that it is not shit.. and yes, you can use sourcemaps to find the css in the source files, but you cant edit SCSS in it.

I personally find it much faster to edit in the browser, specially when changing already existing rules. and the only browsers that can do this, are chromium based browsers
>>
>>54667474
I think he means that 4chan should use H.264 like every other site. I kind of doubt Apple will ever support WebM though, but we'll see now that even Edge supports it (not in stable yet though).
>>
>>54667420
how the fuck would i do that?

open my javascript console and enter that overtime a webm opens?

The main reason to use H264 is that it's decoding is hardware accelerated and VP9/8 is not. If you watch a lot of videos or videos in high resolution this is a big issue. On your average Bobs laptop, .webm 1080p on youtube will actually consume one core constantly to decode. This is bad for system performance and tragic for battery life. Unless this is fixed you will not see mass adaptation of webm as a format, especially with presence of H265.
