- searchableguy 7y agoYou can install any browser you want from playstore or outside of playstore. There are no restrictions on what you can and cannot have on your phone on android.

Given how successfully Google was able to ensure Blink domination on desktop and even more so on Android it is very understandable what Apple has done. And for me having at least 2 web engines on mobile is better than 1.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoIn what reality-distortioned world is that worse than 0%? Also, several of those Blink-based browsers include additional non-Google-approved features, like Mozilla's own Firefox Focus, Samsung Browser, Edge, and Brave. I'd hardly call that a monoculture just because they share the same lineage.
