Hi Arthur,

Good question.

Safari is only relevant when discussing web on mobile, since iOS dominates
mobile web traffic by far (80% or so). So if you care how your site looks
on mobile phones, this is a concern. Otherwise, on the desktop, Safari is
pretty irrelevant.

My last company was more concerned about web traffic, so Safari was
definitely a concern. For my current one, it is not.

However, considering that both Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit, 99%
of the time, what works in Chrome works in Safari, which makes it less of
an issue compared to whether you want to support IE or not.

- Hans
