I’m sorry but this is a complete waste of my time. Clearly you are a very happy Safari user and that’s just fine.
PS Did you do as I suggested and try the “Safari Technology Preview release 92” with Clibu Notes. It will only take a minute.
PPS And you missed the damming comment: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-releases-safari-technology-preview-92-with-bug-fixes-and-performance-improvements.2199185/

Actually I use Brave. Please don’t presume to know about other participants here. I was just curious about an overarching and vague dismissal of an issue your app has with a browser you didn’t seem too familiar with, and asked a few questions (that you mostly chose not to answer).
Best of luck with your new app.

Satis, a few observations.
Not giving something “much love” is an idiomatic expression meaning not giving something the attention it deserves.
Neville’s concerns re Safari and Apple’s approach to app developers/development are not unique. Even if one was completely unaware of these things it seems to me that Neville gave us some good examples.
About search results: Google et al do not necessarily offer results chronologically. It is not unusual for me to spend time trying to find the most recent results. Your comments to Neville in this regard were rude and, IMO, unnecessary.
In fact, the tone of your responses became quickly and needlessly negative, especially given that Neville took the time to make a reasonable effort to respond to your posts. Given that Neville is an independent developer I have always found him willing to take the time to respond to people here and on his website.

I appreciate your response, Daly. I asked what he specifically meant by the term, and I think he got a little defensive. I’m pretty familiar with the competing browsers, and how they have advanced and leapfrogged each other in various ways, but I’m likewise too familiar with fact-free drive-by bashing of one browser or another.

Back to the real point of this thread.
Neville, I hadn’t tried Clibu until your mentioned your alpha test. It does indeed work well on Safari on macOS—and also has interesting possibilities in Safari on iOS. I’ll continue to explore as time permit. I’m impressed by the work you’ve put into Clibu and still do not ask for compensation. Very generous.
Unfortunately, the “Safari Technology Preview release 92” at the link you posted continues to generate a weird result on Safari (this is Safari 13 on macOS 10.15 beta 8—so a lot of possible issues with all the betaness going on). A stentorian voice declares “Houston we have a problem, site error, undefined is not an option ... WinSQL is deprecated”. I have never seen an error message delivered with sound and no text, so I have no idea what is generating that result.
