It's not "fix my code" when Safari doesn't even support the feature or it's simply broken - or most annoyingly, it works one day and breaks with an update. (See: webrtc stuff) You might have known the rules, but most users don't. Plenty will come to me saying they've tried both Safari and Chrome and that it won't work in either, indicating they have no knowledge of webkit.

Android also randomly breaks things now and then, but I can at least direct users to Firefox, which never seems to have any problems.

Please understand redirecting users to another browser is only ever a last resort. If I can fix the code I will, but sometimes something just stops working and I can't even reproduce it.

...and I have a teacher who is relying on my app for their classes this week and "try firefox" could save them...
