While I think this change is great, I am not directly convinced Safari should be included in the list by their own rules, considering the app has not been explicitly downloaded by at least 5,000 users in the prior calendar year.

That seems like a strange claim. Any source for it? Safari can be deleted on iOS and I find it hard to believe that less than 5000 people do that and then re-download it a year.

I think they mean as an App Store download (since it comes with the phone, so therefore has 0 app downloads).

[brookst]

When you delete it from the phone, you have to redownload it from app store to get it back. I would be shocked if less than 5000 people a year did that.

I live in the EU and I can’t delete Safari on iOS. I, too, am curious about that claim.

Far more than 5,000 users have downloaded the Safari Technology Preview.

> If a developer has multiple browser apps, only the most downloaded app will be eligible

Then that would imply that only the Safari Technology Preview should be eligible.

I knew that hackers still would not be satisfied. Thanks for spending some time to invent a reason to continue raging against Apple, so that the rest can go back to work.
