- lol768 9y agoOh, it uses Webkit? Huh
- r00fus 9y agoRequired for iOS or Apple won't allow it on the store.
- vfclists 9y agoWhy hasn't the EU charged Apple for abusing the monopoly position? Didn't they do that to Microsoft, or has Apple sweetened them up in some other way?
- moosingin3space 9y agoTechnically, Apple does not have a monopoly, unless you want to argue they are the monopolist of the market for iOS devices. They don't even have a majority market share of smartphones in most jurisdictions. That being said, I still believe it is an abuse of market position, and I'm not sure how we can fight it.
- kuschku 9y agoIn most parts of the EU Apple has a marketshare around or below 15%. That’s about the same that Windows Phone 7 had at its peak. So, think about how much of a monopoly position Windows Phone 7 had, and try to imagine Apple had that. You can probably imagine why Apple is not in any shape to abuse their position.
- opencl 9y agoGecko/Webview is a compile-time switch and both the F-Droid and Play Store builds use Webview. The iOS version is Webview-only or Apple wouldn't allow it on the App store.
- feikname 9y agoI think you meant WebKit for the iOS version?
