They're competing a lot less than they could be by nature of being the default browser, and also by not allowing non-webkit based browsers on the iOS apple store. I think without those very few people would be opting in to Safari.
I read that both Google and Mozilla are developing non webkit iOS browsers in anticipation of some regulatory changes, and also that Apple has been staffing up the webkit/Safari team in response.
- idonotknowwhy 3y agoLack of real Firefox is the actual blocker for me using an iPhone. But at the same time, I'm glad ios only allow safari and I hope the EU don't change this. I think the consequences would be bad if chrome works on every platform and suddenly there's no cross browser support for a lot of apps.
