It doesn't matter. Even if Safari is competitive, Google will force everyone to use Chrome on iOS and it won't matter what Safari can and can't do.

- heavyset_go 5y agoSounds like FUD to me, especially considering nobody is forced to use Chrome on Windows, macOS or Linux, and that I've been using Firefox on Android for a decade now.
- threeseed 5y agoWhat's the market share for Firefox ? I think that should answer the question about whether it's FUD or not.
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoThis is untrue: I regularly deal with companies forcing people and other companies to use Chrome on Windows and such. Your lack of experiencing it doesn't mean it isn't happening. But you're also missing the point: Without Safari, there's no longer further incentive for Google to participate in the web standards process, over just forcing people to use Chrome.
- smoldesu 5y ago> Without Safari, there's no longer further incentive for Google to participate in the web standards process, over just forcing people to use Chrome. Nobody is getting rid of Safari, they're just repealing the idea of forcing any one user to use a first-party browser. Worrying about Chrome's dominance is a completely separate topic from the freedom to choose the browser you want to use.
- FireBeyond 5y agoThey don't force it on macOS, so your description of this as a fait accompli doesn't quite gel.
