    In my experience it's the buggiest browser out of the big three, and is often missing basic features like e.g.:

    https://caniuse.com/?search=opus

    Supported in Firefox for *12 years* now, in Chrome for 10, still no support in Safari.

    They only "support" Opus audio in their special snowflake '.caf' container, which is super buggy and the last time I checked no open source program could even generate Opus '.caf' files that could be played by Safari on all Apple platforms. I ended up writing a custom converter which takes a standard '.opus' file and remuxes it on-the-fly (I only store '.opus' files on my server) into Safari-compatible '.caf' files, taking special care to massage it so that it avoids all of their demuxer/decoder bugs. You shouldn't have to do this to have cross-browser high quality audio!
