How is it fair to make this statement about iOS where no other engine is even allowed? Maybe Chrome(ium) and/or Firefox would be faster than Webkit on iOS if they were actually allowed to develop for it, or maybe Safari would be the best. It's impossible to know because Apple prevents any competition here.
- nwienert 6y agoBecause it’s the same engine on Mac and it’s far, far faster (and less battery consuming). Sure, opening it may incentivize Chrome to compete, but I doubt much more than they already are incentivized in general.
- skinnymuch 6y agoWe have MacOS to see this is true to a huge degree there. The related and overlapping iOS wouldn’t change things that much.
