You're drinking Apple kool-aid if you think Safari isn't holding web back. Lots of anti-google people dislike Safari. Safari isn't the only non-google option you know.

That's a gross characterization of what's going on. When I download Uber on App Store, the business relationship is between me and Uber (and Apple doesnt and shouldnt come into the picture). Do you think Ford needs to get a cut if
