>> Microsoft does it all the time with Edge on Windows.

Edge on windows, the same edge on windows that got caught slurping up chrome tabs recently?

Browsers are now the same size code base wise, as operating systems. They are in fact tiny OS's with permissions models and execution environments.

I think the author makes the point that safari made a lot of progress, they paid for a lot of work, that they are throwing away. Spite is a reason, but security is also a reason... We have seen how bad things can be when browsers cohabitate on desktops, putting up hard walls now solves the problem before it starts. Phone users aren't loosing (much) of anything, taking away something that they didn't have and didn't exist MIGHT be for security reasons...

See MS stealing chrome tabs.

Aren't apps already sandboxed from eachother on both major Phone OS', unlike on Windows? So on that end something like Edges snooping around other browsers isn't even possible.

In theory, sure.

The browser is bigger than the OS in total LOC.

No one is auditing that.

It is a question of when the video leaks of someone using their phone on the shitter.

If its a Samsung... well were gonna hear google and Samsung blame each other and consumers will be confused till everyone forgets about it.

If it's an apple, consumers blame apple. The buck stops with them.

You have to make a business decision based on this what are you gonna do? Im gonna lock all the doors I can.

If the video leaks due to shitty (pun not intended) sandboxing that is rightlfully on Apple (when on iOS), if it leaks due to the browser being broken then it is on Google and if it's due to an explicit modification of Samsung (when talking about Android) it's on Samsung.

When Facebook has a bug/exploit in their app that results in X hacker being able to gain access to files stored within the sandbox of Facebook noone is blaming Apple for Facebooks bug.

I feel like the reason most users don't care if they lose access to PWAs is because they haven't had much expose to them. Apple would prefer people continue to use stuff from their app store instead of PWAs and so they're squashing our opportunity to get to know and like them. It's yet another attempt to lock us into their app store
