That's a novel argument against allowing competing browsers. Let's apply a basic check on its validity. Do you think Mozilla agrees with it?
I think you'll find the answer is "no." Not allowing competing browsers does not help the web ecosystem or the users. It helps only Apple.
- millstone 7y agoYes I think Mozilla would agree with both the marketshare figures, and that iOS is the only effective check on Google's mobile web dominance. How has allowing competing browser engines on Android helped the web ecosystem? Non-Chromium browsers are a rounding error on Android.
- lern_too_spel 7y ago> How has allowing competing browser engines on Android helped the web ecosystem? By allowing people to install Firefox. Would you rather that Android be Chrome-only? Neither, I suspect, would Mozilla. The same applies to iOS, with its backwards browser holding back the web. Your argument would justify Microsoft making IE 6 the only allowed browser on Windows. Do you really not see how ridiculous that is?
