Nitpick, you can install other browsers on iOS. Don't think you can make them the default handler for URLs from other apps however, but most apps still ship their own web view inside the app making that a mostly moot point in my experience.
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoYes, that's an issue too but what I specifically meant by that was mainly that you can install wrappers round the provided Webkit, but not, for example, Mozilla's gecko, Opera's presto, or Google's Blink browser engine or even your own spin on Webkit. So saying that Webkit is ubiquitous isn't saying as much about webkit's inherent quality or Mozilla's mistakes as it would if there was a free choice in the matter.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoNitpick the nitpick, you can install applications on iOS that are forced to use the not-as-up-to-date-as-Mobile-Safari WebUIView. They are not allowed to roll their own engine.
