Unfortunately, this isn't available for devices with a monopolized browser. (iOS)
- beambot 10y agoSo make another Ask HN post: "Dear Google, Apple, Mozilla, and MS: Please End Monopolized Browsers for our devices"
- duaneb 10y agoThat wouldn't contribute anything to the conversation.
- vurpo 10y agoIt would be more like "Dear Apple: Please End Monopolized Browsers for our devices" Google's and MS's operating systems don't monopolize the browser. I'm not sure if Mozilla is even making an OS anymore. The only OS in this day and age which doesn't let you implement your own browser engine is iOS.

- BoorishBears 10y agoI'm actually impressed that Chrome on iOS manages to be less stable than Safari since it's using the same engine...
