Can you explain why? Chrome has much better support for web standards, wider API capability and allows you to build better web applications than Safari. How is that bad for the web? Especially when your alternative comes from a company that has vested interest to make web a bad option to funnel profits into their monopolistic app store? Remember, Firefox is not allowed to exist on Apple devices either.

Google automatically signs you into Chrome (e.g. Chrome profiles) if you sign into any of Google’s web properties, including Youtube, GSuite, etc. [1] You don’t need tracking pixels for your ad products when you know who every user is operating the browser. This conflict of interest - browser privacy vs. Google’s ad business - is the single reason I now use Firefox [on desktop].

  It would be great if you could use Firefox on iOS then, wouldn't it?

    Sure, it would, but I was addressing the issue of "can you explain why [a Chrome monopoly would be bad]".

> Chrome has much better support for web standards, wider API capability Many of those "standards" and APIs are emphatically not standards despite what Chrome's vast propaganda machine tells you.
