If Google or Mozilla release real versions of their browsers for iOS/iPadOS and offer long support for them, then I see it as a win. I've seen so many usable iPads turn into e-waste because Safari is out of date and can't be updated.
- snotrockets 3y agoiOS Safari is the only thing that prevents a Chromium/Blink hegemony. A popular Chrome on iOS would be a return to the IE6 days (Firefox has such a minuscule market share, no one even notices it)
- ThatPlayer 3y agoI don't want to give one company a monopoly just to prevent a potential monopoly. I want better anti-trust to handle both and all monopolies. And handling the existing and real monopoly is how that starts.
- snotrockets 3y agoIt's not a potential: we know this is going to happen, because we've seen it happening before. The _marketed_ intent behind those regulation is a good one. The actual regulations are just favoring one player over the other: I guess the lobbyists were ahead of the process this time (good for them). As much as everyone would claim ignorance later, I'm not willing to give them the credit of being that stupid.
