How difficult is it to test your site on the 3 major browser engines? I have done some web development before and when I'm on linux, I just test my site with chromium, firefox, and epiphany. I think the onus is on the developer to use standards that are well supported and to try to avoid standards like webUSB that are niche. To use semantic HTML and such so that the website fails in a more useful way to the end user when the standards aren't supported.

> How difficult is it to test your site on the 3 major browser engines? Given that one of those 3 requires sending thousands of dollars a year to Apple, I'd say "very". Also, given that Google is a monopoly, I do place the onus on them to at minimum warn developers that they are deviating from well supported standards.

  Mac mini is less than $500. And you can use it for years. Thousands of dollars a year is this around 10 times too high a figure.

    $500 is a lot of money even for a west coast SWE and prohibitive in many areas.

      That's true but the comment I replied to talked about thousands/year when in fact it is hundreds/year.

  Epiphany uses the same rendering engine as Safari. It is FOSS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Web https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Web
