That isn't updated for Safari 26, but by that table Safari 18 is only missing 3 standardized features that Chrome supports, with a fourth that is disabled by default. So what's the point of your comment? Just to make noise and express your ignorance?

What ignorance? Safari doesn't support the most important additions:
- memory64
- multiple memories
- JSPI (!!)
I recently explored the possibility of optimizing qemu-wasm in browser[0].. and it turns out that the most important features were those Safari doesn't implement.

Historically speaking, apple has consistently limited web app functionality on iOS since 2008. I think we would be much further ahead if it wasn't for Apple’s policies under his leadership.
Apple took over the distribution to prioritize a cut to the app store which crippled/slowed the open web PWA and WASM adoption.
