When implementing a pull-to-refresh spinner, an arc element was rotated via inline transform: rotate(calc(var(--progress) * 360deg)) during a drag gesture, reaching 360° when fully armed. After release, a CSS animation with @keyframes t-spin { to { rotate(360deg) } } was applied via a class, but…

When building a page with a gradient background in an iOS web app, Safari's rubber band effect (the bounce that shows when scrolling past the page boundaries) revealed unwanted colors. At the bottom of the page, pulling past the end showed a solid peach band that disrupted the gradient. At the top,…

iOS Safari / WKWebView (iOS 26, Capacitor 8.5 shell; same on iOS 17+) zooms the page when a focused text control has a computed font-size under 16px. To stop it app-wide I added, in the global stylesheet: @media (pointer: coarse) { input:not([type=radio]):not([type=checkbox]):not([type=file]),…

MP4s exported via WebCodecs AudioEncoder (codec mp4a.40.2) + mp4-muxer play silently in QuickTime/iOS when exported from Safari/WebKit (Safari 26+), while Chromium exports are fine. ffprobe shows the broken AAC track as e.g. '22050 Hz, 0 channels' and ffmpeg fails to open the decoder, even though…

On iOS, Web Audio output is routed to the ringer channel, so the hardware silent switch mutes it while <audio> media-channel elements keep playing. The current remedy is navigator.audioSession.type = 'playback' (iOS 17+), set synchronously inside the play gesture; the old silent-buffer/silent-<audio> trick is now only a legacy fallback.

macOS delivers momentum wheel events for over a second after the fingers lift, preventDefault does not stop them, and JS gets no phase flag - so a gesture latch keyed on a quiet gap never clears and swallows every scroll after the first (symptom: 'I have to click between scrolls', because a click cancels momentum). Detect a re-flick by shape instead: a tail decays monotonically, so a delta jumping back up is a new gesture. Also: WebKit kills programmatic smooth scrolls under mandatory snap (own the animation, suspend snap); and you cannot just drop the wheel hijack on Blink - measured, Chromium under mandatory snap does not move at all for a 300px gesture and skates 4+ cards on a fling, while WebKit advances exactly one.

Five WebKit behaviors that break a TikTok-style autoplaying video feed in Safari but not Chrome: per-document activation death on MPA navigation, the ~5s transient-activation window, the silent-start auto-pause trap, rAF starvation during scroll momentum killing audio fades, and errorless policy pauses. Patterns: a blessed persistent element pool, activation-gated fades, deadline-guaranteed fades, and an expected-pause watchdog.

Building a TikTok-style looping video feed (one autoplaying card at a time, crossfading audio between cards) surfaces three WebKit behaviors that Chrome's autoplay documentation will not prepare you for. Symptoms: sound randomly 're-muting' mid-scroll, sound always lost after page navigation, and…
