Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned: within the EU.

The reality is, even though it's now theoretically possible for Chrome and Firefox to be properly ported here, it's practically impossible. At any rate it's not happening yet. Last I heard they decided against it as it would require all of the coding to be done within the EU! So Apple is still effectively blocking alternatives on its platform even here.

It would be nice if the USA and Japan also pursue their own anti monopoly charges and force Apple to open up across the world

It's very much happening: Igalia blogged about the Chrome effort in https://blogs.igalia.com/gyuyoung/2024/08/08/chrome-ios-brow... and you can follow Gecko/Firefox progress in https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/cedar/shortlog and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1882872
Cool, thanks! I'm curious to see what the future will bring!
