Linkify-urls is redundant as we already had a library.
Linkify-urls is not compatible with Safari as it's designed to be used
on Node JS and it uses non-polyfillable regexp features.

@nickvergessen please test this with Safari, also with Talk.

Is it a good idea to replace a 7kb dependency with a >500kb one?
Just mentioning: #1488
And linkify-urls@2 works great, also in Safari.

Linkify is already a dependency.
And at least the current linkify-urls causes a parse error on safari, which is why Talk and the vue lib docs are not working on recent safari

so far, as this is mostly fire fighting, I'd like to move forward with this fix and not use two different libraries.

separately we could look into finding a smaller library then and use only that one everywhere

I think @dartcafe was referring to the old version of linkify-urls which doesn't seem to have the back-references in the regexp https://github.com/sindresorhus/linkify-urls/blob/v2.2.0/index.js#L5 vs https://github.com/sindresorhus/linkify-urls/blob/2d04fd8121e6adc33d35f1303495966a39f0dfa8/index.js#L5.
But I'm not sure if we'll want to use an outdated / old major of a library. Maybe there's yet another library that would fit.
This will need further research.

I've raised #1679 for researching a smaller dep that works everywhere

SO, what was the decision regarding #1488 ?
Because linkifyjs uses jQuery and is quite heavy for a simple string replacement.

follow up in #1488

there was no further discussion about it.

my PR was just an emergency thing to unblock a release due to Safari regressions
