Comment on Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Adds and avoid the Bloat)

While WebKit itself is oss, apple’s tendency to just separate itself from the rest of the world makes it largely irrelevant. There are very few alternative browsers based on webkit for other platforms and the expected benefit of developers having to cater to apple’s choices are thus negligible for the rest of us.

Still though. I don’t want to be on an internet where Chrome is basically the only develoment target, and for anything to work properly you have to be on Google’s browser. Safari forces at least some generalization.

I agree, my point is that safari’s dominance on iOS is not the light at the end of the tunnel, it does very little to offer alternatives to chromium.
