 Fuck Safari. It is 2024's Internet Explorer. Nothing works on it.  
 safari = ie6 with good design.

there are several sites i use regularly that the search doesn't even work. insane. Chrome, edge, opera, Firefox, kiwi, all work fine. just safari doesn't.  
 But it’s basically the only iOS browser that works with an nsec storage extension.

i use nostr 99.99% of the time on my phone, as many other of the younger folks do, which i don't think the devs really understand and consider 
 How devs think people will use their products.

 stop making PWA clients for phones before you manage to properly fix the login with nostr part

 Is there no nostr browser like spring.site and nostrnet.work available for iOS yet?  
 nope 
 nostr.kiwi i think was smth? 
 Though life 
 The only other thing that works for me is Orion, because you can install nos2x on it, but it only sort of works. 
 Nope. Desperately needed. 
 nsec.app and nip46 login? on iOS you need to go to settings advanced experimental and enable push api, and then install nsec.app as pwa, then it should work and do signing in the background 
 Orion browser exists. 
 Works poorly. 
 Kind of like Safari 😂 
 Like I said, not many good options. 
 Wait. What is the nsec storage called? 
 Nostore. It only works with Safari.

 At least Safari supports ES6. I worked on a project not too long ago where I was restricted to only things that IE supported without polyfills. It was tortuous. 
 Always has been
