Things like android Google apps not respecting the default browser infuriates me
Have you heard about Windows?
It’s been a minute since I was on Android but can’t you uninstall/disable every other browser except Firefox as a workaround?
Except Chrome and some preinstalled vendor bullshit. Neither can you change the default Chrome webview without root, despite there being cromite and geckoview.
Yes, love the name-and-shame, done respectfully of course.

This sounds like food for a major anti-trust lawsuit.
Hope at least EU cares for that.

Already taken care of, with the Digital Markets Act that’s coming into force soon.

The DMA does not require Apple to allow alternative browser engines to use JIT compilation, meaning that while they will be allowed, their performance will be crippled compared to WebKit.

It’s not so simple because Apple makes it part of a larger security policy which concerns all methods of running custom code on iOS, including emulators, browser engines, shell terminals, programming languages etc. It also makes an exception for teaching apps under certain conditions. So it’s not easy to argue that it’s aimed specifically at subverting browser competition.

Sure, that’s very easy to argue. If they don’t want “anyone’s” software to run, then they need to offer a certification process. Without making that hilariously hard or expensive of course.
