Let's say that Apple does allow other browsers on the iOS platform, how does that help developers when users continue to use Safari?

- lucasyvas 5y agoAs a counterpoint I'd ask what browser most people use on macOS. I'd be willing to bet it's Chrome.
- javagram 5y agoSafari has over 9% usage share in the desktop browser market, I’m not so sure that the majority of macOS browsing is done through chrome. I’m sure Chrome is a strong second though and Firefox users like myself a distant third… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
- ArchOversight 5y agoI know that this is anecdotal, but most of my friends and family use Safari on macOS, not Chrome. It's developers that tend to use Chrome. I personally use Safari on macOS, because I prefer how its privacy protections, and how little battery power it uses. I just can't get used to Chrome and it doesn't integrate with Keychain so I can't re-use my existing password store.
- withinboredom 5y agoI imagine it’s just like IE. We deal with it for another 10-20 years and then aggressively try to destroy it.
- ArchOversight 5y agoSo we move further towards what IE used to be, a single dominant browser engine that gets to decide the future of the whole web.
- withinboredom 5y agoAt least Chrome is still innovating and supporting new features.
