https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_document_activeelement says document.activeElement is supported by WebKit/Safari.

My exprience shows, that WebKit does not set document.activeElement when clicking by mouse. Firefox and Chrome set document.activeElement when clicking by mouse. All browsers set document.activeElement, when navigating with keyboard.

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236217 contains details and sample snippet for reproduction.

At https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236217#c5 I asked about the rationale, why does the behaviour of Safari deviate on purpose from the other browsers.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on any version of Safari, and we don't currently track data for other (currently-)WebKit-based browsers. The bug's title says [GTK], so I'm assuming this was an issue that only affected GTK-based WebKit browsers.

Per https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236217 this is now corrected in GtkWebKit.
