    Not really, since Chrome is based on Safari, not the other way around.

  6. It's a modified quote from Terminator 2:

    Terminator: The man most directly responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson.
    Sarah Connor: Who is that?
    Terminator: He's the director of special projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation.
    Sarah: Why him?
    Terminator: In a few months, he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor.
    Sarah: Go on. Then what?
    Terminator: In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
    Sarah: Skynet fights back.
    Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
    John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
    Terminator: Because Skynet knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.
    Sarah: Jesus. How much do you know about Dyson?
    Terminator: I have detailed files.
    Sarah: I want to know everything. What he looks like, where he lives, everything.

    Chrome 62.5%
    Safari 13.8%
    IE+Edge 7.0%
    Firefox 6.3%
    Opera 3.0%

    But if all IE/Edge users switched to this new "Microsoft Chrome" browser, the new stats would be:
    Chrome 69.5%
    Safari 13.8%
    Firefox 6.3%
    Opera 3.0%

    And if you look at the monthly trends, Safari is just barely keeping its relative numbers while Chrome keeps going up, eating both Microsoft's and Mozilla's shares. But since Microsoft is basically becoming Chrome, the IE/Edge marketshare becomes irrelevant and simply pushes Chrome even higher.

    You said "WebKit for iOS", not "Safari". I thought you were discussing iOS applications.

  14. The day they stopped making Safari for Windows is the day they gave up their power to do anything about it.

    Doesn't APNG also work in WebKit for iOS? The APNG file should be smaller, I think.

  17. Re:Modern "GIFs" on What's The Correct Way to Pronounce 'GIF'? (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sites like Twitter use the term GIF in short videos but are just hosting the thing in video formats like MP4.

    And then ignorant people keep calling every video "a GIF" even though video files are not animated/graphic files.

    Stopping the widespread use of "GIF" to mean "video" should be the topic here, not the proper way to pronounce GIF.
