Safari on iOS is that one browser that makes you question your entire career. You write perfectly valid CSS that works flawlessly on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, even Opera for crying out loud... then you test on Safari and suddenly your flexbox is doing interpretive dance and your z-index has entered another dimension. The best part? Apple forces all iOS browsers to use WebKit under the hood, so you can't even escape to Chrome on iPhone. It's like they're actively trying to keep web developers employed by ensuring there's always one more thing to fix. Thanks, Tim Cook, for the job security. Fun fact: Safari is often called "the new IE6" by frontend devs, which is basically the worst insult you can give a browser. At least IE6 had the excuse of being from 2001.

Chrome and Firefox are out here being bros, actually supporting your responsive design like decent browsers should. They're holding your hand, telling you "I got you, brother!" when you're testing those media queries at 3 AM. Then Safari shows up with a 2x4 ready to ruin your day. That one CSS property that worked perfectly everywhere else? Safari decided it's optional. Your flexbox layout? "Oh no you don't!" Safari has its own interpretation of web standards, and it's usually wrong. Safari is basically the new IE6 at this point. You spend 2 hours building something beautiful, then 6 hours fixing it for Safari. WebKit quirks are the gift that keeps on giving, and by giving I mean taking years off your life.
