Viewport behavior in Safari 26 is utterly broken. 🙄😭 Time to get Viewports into #Interop2026 because viewports on iOS have gotten only worse since I did the initial research in, *checks notes*, 2022 — github.com/web-platform...

The viewport behavior of Safari 26 on iPadOS is behaving much better than on iOS. A quick check tells me using `viewport-fit` in the viewport meta tag doesn’t do anything. It’s always kinda like `cover` but without it extending to underneath the address bar (which you could do before IIRC)

Also: what’s up with that padding on the left you get when the window becomes wider? Maybe this is for Stage Manager (which I am not using)?

(The `viewport-fit=cover`-like behavior on iPadOS is the exact opposite of the behavior on iOS, where it always uses `viewport-fit=contain`)

Bon, I filed github.com/web-platform... for #interop2026
