You expect the end user to hunt for APIs to do this? Of course we wait till it’s done by Apple

  No, I just expect people to use better browsers. Safari's issues are documented far and wide[0] (as well as extended by a plethora of WebKit issues) so I really don't see why most people would want to use it over Firefox or Chrome. Both of those browsers have given you the option to choose it's location for years, so I don't see any cause for celebration when Apple really just sheared a Yak while blowing party streamers.

Because Safari works great for its users. That's the target: the end user, not the software developer.

    None of the issues noted on caniuse matters as far as "using a better browser" on iOS. All iOS browsers have to be built on the current version of webkit installed on iOS. So all the rendering engines are just skinned to different browsers with different sync/bookmark options included.
