Thanks ! But I still feel that Safari is now the 21st Century's Internet Explorer :(
Is anyone else having trouble targeting ipads currently (2019-2020)? I‘ve spent countless hours trying to fix blurry images on a particular page. I have the fix, and have successfully targeted my css to the iphone using two different methods, but can’t seem to target the ipad. I have tried targeting by width and by webkit-overflow-scrolling (which works on the iphone). I’m wondering if Apple’s change in September 2019 to have the ipad act as a desktop is affecting targeting by device width as above. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
