Is there a webpage/wiki that puts into a nice table which OS version/web
browser version combination support IPv6, if it needs any tweaks to do so,
and whether IPv6 is treated equally or given preference?

I'm thinking our help desk....

It is ridiculous that that is a decision per-app instead of global.

aka:
# defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

and apparently there somewhere you can change it around...

I don't have an true idea though as I don't use safari, but I hope the
above helps you out

But, but, did you think about Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome and all
