Reasons to hate safari as a frontend developer / Why Safari is the new IE

This is an on-going list of things that I constantly find missing in Safari, (and possibly ways to work around them)

RegExp Positive/Negative Lookbehind

I cannot believe my eyes when positive/negative lookbehind is still not available on safari. Here is how you can work around it:

Instead of

'abcae'.replaceAll(/(?<=a)./g, '*') // yields 'a*ca*'

We can use $n to put back the matched "lookahead". See more here.

'abcae'.replaceAll(/(a)./g, '$1*') // yields 'a*ca*'
