Webkit is the mobile IE6 if you ask me. Very narrow minded design and testing from the people who usually bitch about IE6.

Oh the irony.

I don't understand the basis for that position and don't think it's true at all. Why do you think that's comparable at all?

Granted it works better but it's still developing for one platform only and excluding others.

Remember when sites were "optimised for IE". Well we're there again but it's not IE.

Actually, this was build for HTML5 browser to see if i can build native like experience. This works great on desktop and Mobile IE10/11. I was also told that this works on latest blackberry and Firefox OS.

It's not, IE6 was not standards compliant.

Neither is webkit. There are many things it doesn't do.

And it has lots of proprietary extensions.

How is it different?
