[🚀 Feature]: Webkit Support #2078

Closed Tiberriver256 closed 9 months ago

Feature and motivation

Testing Safari is quite a challenge. Running on the WebKit engine instead would be much simpler and likely good enough for the majority of cases.

Safari

Only runs on Apple hardware
Requires special licensing
Relies on Apple patching for versioning, making it hard to control

WebKit

Runs on Windows/Linux/MacOS (good docker candidate)
No special licensing requirements
Any version can be downloaded directly from the site

Real-world examples

Playwright has had some success with this https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#webkit

Usage example

Would love a Docker image to be used in Selenium Grid 👍👍

Creating Docker image may not be difficult , jamesmortensen did it with epiphany/mini browser https://github.com/jamesmortensen/WebKitWebDriver-Browser-Images . The bigger question is does selenium-server supports it? Here is one older thread for it https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10178

Thanks @amardeep2006 for providing this context. As today, it stands the same.

In addition, we aim to provide real browsers for general use cases, and Webkit is not a general use case. I know that having a Safari instance is not trivial, but if you are serious about testing, you should test in the same browser your user browses.
