Using: Has() as a CSS Parent Selector and much more

I was neither sharing an opinion nor did I claim anything. I asked OP a question and referred them to content of the article.

> You know why it never happened?

Yes, I do.

> Especially when all we have is their word.

Does that mean you don't trust their word? Good. Would you trust their own benchmark? No? The parent selector has been in Safari 15.4 since March, 2022. So feel free to do your own benchmark. There is not just their word.

You might also find the lengthy explainer of Igalia, where performance is discussed, interesting: https://github.com/Igalia/explainers/tree/main/css/has

Being skeptic is not a bad thing. But (uninformed) criticism without any specifics is far from "well founded skepticism". JavaScript interpreters used to be very slow twenty years ago, now they are extremely fast. That can happen to CSS evaluation, too.

As someone who primarily uses Safari on an 8GB Mac mini, I've found there's two things which cause memory to spike.

One is opening the developer tools. Have more than a couple tabs with the dev tools open and I can easily have Safari itself go over 8GB and I start to feel the thrashing when switching between apps and stuff.

Two, for whatever reason, is streaming YouTube videos - not playing pre-recorded ones but watching livestreams. I suspect the culprit is actually the chat box but I'm not sure. For now, if I want to watch a YouTube stream for more than a couple minutes, I'll usually pass it to Streamlink which allows me to watch the stream through VLC and bypass the web interface entirely - I don't participate in or care about the chats anyway.

I even set up a Zsh function I can invoke with "sl" which automatically fires up Streamlink with whatever URL I currently have in my clipboard.

Incidentally, if you open up Activity Monitor and go to the Memory tab, it'll show you how much memory each Safari tab is using… well, sort of. It uses the domain name of the site as the "Process Name," but that's not very useful if you have more than one tab open with a page from the same domain name. I really wish they'd put the full page title and/or URL in there and/or let you switch directly to the offending tab from Activity Monitor.

All that being said… Naturally, Safari is the most well-integrated and performant macOS browser, and it puzzles me why even self-described Mac fans would use anything else for anything other than testing.
