Microsoft has been way behind in browsers for years, and had no choice but to use Chromium. But you merely repeated your statement. I’m genuinely curious - what do you mean by “much love” and what capabilities are missing from Safari that prohibit Clibu from running on it? Is there something in Clibu that is proprietary in Chrome that you chose to use that locks out other browsers? Can you be more specific? Thanks.

Lots of info on the Web. ex. https://dev.to/nektro/safari-is-the-new-internet-explorer-1df0 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16850817 etc.
BTW Clibu works fine on Safari. It is the new Clibu Notes app which is in Alpha that Paul reported the SQL error with. Safari’s implementation of IndexedDB has been lacking and buggy which is likely the cause of the SQL error.

Not sure how familiar you are with the browser’s advancements, or capabilities, or updates, given links to 18+ month-old threads. At any rate, thanks for the replay, and perhaps the new improvements to Safari will help.

Maybe you or Paul could try “Safari Technology Preview release 92” with Clibu Notes Alpha: https://clibu-notes-alpha-0-20-21.netlify.com It does mention Bug fixes in IndexedDB.
Did you see the Article comment: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-releases-safari-technology-preview-92-with-bug-fixes-and-performance-improvements.2199185/
And yes those articles are a dated, they were found in a minute of quick searching. I do follow what is going on with all Browsers and Safari is the one which developers continually have issues with.
The fact that “Clibu Notes” works a treat without me doing anything special in Firefox and Chrome speaks volumes.

Yet you needed to do a (poor) search with old info to buttress your claims? Hmm.
