- ceejayoz 2y agoSafari’s existence (in iOS, at least, for now) is what keeps Chrome from unilaterally determining the future of the web.
- concinds 2y agoThat's a fallacious argument: https://infrequently.org/2022/06/apple-is-not-defending-browser-engine-choice/ https://infrequently.org/2022/06/apple-is-not-defending-brow...
- ceejayoz 2y agoNo; your link immediately waters down its claims: “at least that's not the primary effect”. It needn’t be primary to be important. If iOS didn’t enforce Safari, we’d see a lot more “only works in Chrome” signs on sites and “emerging standards” would be added to Chrome without much chance of Firefox keeping pace. Apple’s motivations are hardly pure, but as a FF user I’m glad iOS has the market share it does.
- concinds 2y agoSafari is much more limited than even manifest v3. Gorhill's mv3 extension, uBlock Lite, can't support Safari because Apple refuses to support half the web APIs necessary, despite constant requests and appeals, including directly by Gorhill to Safari's DevRel person. Works fine for basic ads but more tracking goes through, which is silly.
