Apple only forbids alternative rendering engines, one can still use own networking stack. This alone allows to differentiate a browser a lot especially regarding ad blocking.
- babypuncher 4y agoThe vast majority of what makes a browser is the HTML/CSS rendering and JavaScript interpreter. Everything else is pretty much just glue to make it all work.
- _0w8t 4y agoFrom an end-user point of view rendering engines are mostly indistinguishable. On the other hand the whole UI and speed of loading of pages are very much noticeable and this a developer can directly control. Note I agree that what Apple does is bad, but claiming that it prevents differentiation where it matters is simply not true.
