> prevent you from downloading and installing netscape like Apple is currently doing with iOS.

I don't know about netscape, but I currently use a browser other than Safari as my default browser. Unless you mean the underlying framework is WebKit?

Safari reskinned to look like Firefox is still safari in my opinion.

Apple gets complete control over what a webpage can do, and chooses the features it supports to ensure the web cannot compete with the app store

It's not Safari. It's worse than Safari, because it misses some API to match a proper Safari.
