It fails on other browsers as well (e.g. Firefox on Linux) and someone has discovered[1] that it may well be a Netlify bug (sending more data than it's supposed to). I agree with your point that that Apple could do better but in this case it does seem that Apple's browser is doing the right thing and ignoring invalid data provided by Netlify (which is the same behaviour as Firefox at the very least). In any case going direct[2] to GitHub should work fine--that link works for me in Firefox on Linux (whereas the Netlify one does not).
