Why learn Safari?

Developers should learn Safari for web development to ensure cross-browser compatibility, especially for applications targeting Apple users. It is essential for testing and debugging on macOS and iOS devices, as Safari uses the WebKit engine, which differs from other browsers like Chrome or Firefox, and has unique developer tools and support for Apple-specific features such as PWA capabilities on iOS.
