This is the critical missing piece. Tried playing with and ship something with the new popover API last week, but missing positioning support in all browsers is really holding this back from more use-cases.

Looks like the last browser (FF) has already shipped anchor positioning in beta, so it won't be long!

Aren't there only 2 browsers? There is Firefox and there are all the Chrome derivatives.

Safari and Mobile Safari are common and are neither Firefox nor Chrome derivatives.

Uncommon and neither Firefox nor Chrome Derivatives: Netsurf, Dillo, Ladybird each have their own engines. A few browsers also use a Gecko fork called Goanna. (Pale Moon comes to mind first, but there are at least a couple others that use the same engine.) Then there's Konqueror. It's not common, but can either use old KHTML or WebKit (Safari's engine).

Also: Orion uses Webkit on macs. Development is cruising along.
