have iOS fall under Chrome domination too.
Huh? Chrome is just Apple’s WebKit.
Comment on iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 months agoYou know, I hadn’t realized this before. Thanks to Apple’s decade-long policy, alternative browsers for iOS literally don’t exist, they’ll have to be ported. It will take years for that to happen, if anybody even bothers. Well, Google will.
And that’s how Apple will have managed to shoot themselves in the foot and have iOS fall under Chrome domination too.
At this point if they were smart they would sponsor the ports of alternative browsers that are not Chrome, but I doubt they have it in them.

That was a longggg time ago. Also a good reason why you should chose GPL as your code license.

For now, but the EU will force Apple to allow non-WebKit engines on iOS. At which point only Google will have enough money to spare porting an entire engine to a small market.

Is there a point you’d like to make?

One could ask you the same thing and it would be a more appropriately directed question. Chrome hasn’t been WebKit for literally years.

I think so. As someone said, safari with another gui.

It is, but it allows you to install many Firefox extensions. Not everything works, but it’s the best option out there I’ve found.
