This answer is misleading at best, bordering on lying. I define "browser" as inclusive of the engine used to render web pages.
- aylmao 7y ago+1. They bend this definition so much. When it comes to uninstalling, they're talking about the engine, calling it a "core part of iOS". When it comes to browsers, then yeah, the shell around the engine IS the browser.

- capableweb 7y agoI had the same reaction! And the ones asking the question, seems to already have known the answer, because there is a more fleshed out question and answer later in the document (question 4).
- henryfjordan 7y agoTo Apple's credit, they do talk about Webkit being the only engine a few questions later.
- modeless 7y agoOnly when forced in response to some very pointed questions. That doesn't make the first answer true if you understand that the engine is a vital part of a web browser and a source of competitive advantage.
