Test with Safari Technology Preview

[raucao]

Apple claims they considerably improved IndexedDB, so we can probably use it in Safari as well soon:

Safari 10.0 is supposed to support 100% of the recommended IndexDB standard: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Articles/Safari_10_0.html

Is that already released, or if not, when is it expected?

I think it's supposed to be released with the next macOS version (Sierra) in the fall.

[raucao]

LOL macOS

[raucao]

Cool. So we just need to change it sometime before fall in rs.js.

I'm downloading the private beta and will install it on my old Macbook to check it out.

I tested Webmarks with the latest Safari Technology Preview Release 8 (Safari 9.1.2) and it all worked flawlessly using IndexedDB. 🎉

[raucao]

Sounds great. However, I thought we'd have to remove code that makes Safari not use IndexedDB?

[galfert]

No, we only have a specific Browser/device check for Android <= 4.3. For everything else we try to create an actual database to determine if IndexedDB is supported.

Nice!

Did you also test how it behaves in private mode?

[galfert]

Behaves the same as the stable Safari in private mode.
