   Today I learned that Safari can’t understand compound extensions in the accept attribute of file inputs.

   So, for example…

   <input
   type="file"
   accept=".kitten.databases.tar.gz"
   >

   … fails. So you have to do:

   <input
   type="file"
   accept=".gz"
   >

   (Which, of course, opens the person up to more chances of selecting the wrong file.)

   🤷♂️
