Why does my CSS animation always look janky on Safari

Spent 3 hours last night on a smooth parallax scroll effect that worked perfect in Chrome and Firefox, but Safari turned it into a stuttery mess. Ended up ditching the whole animation and just using a static gradient instead. Anyone found a reliable workaround for this?

Did you catch that article on CSS-Tricks about the whole Safari rendering thing? Apparently Safari handles `will-change` and `transform: translateZ(0)` differently than Chrome, so maybe try adding `-webkit-transform: translateZ(0)` to your animated elements before the transform. I read somewhere that Safari's GPU compositing kicks in only if you explicitly force hardware acceleration that way.

Does the ordering of those properties in the cascade matter for Safari to actually use them?
