God this whole thing is silly. Can you imagine the same level of fervor about making users who just turned on their phone choose their default notes / weather / mail app. Browser vendors have far too much ego and money involved in this process saying shit about the future of the open web like it's not just like any another app. You render text, the free world doesn't depend on you.

Disallowing other browsers and making other browsers' experience worse than the default— bad, anticompetitive. Having a default is fine. Having a single engine is fine but more is certainly welcome. It's not like we don't already put up with a billion other iOS APIs.

Government mandated ad real estate for a specific kind of app is ridiculous. Especially with garbage like giving those vendors metrics so they can make their ad copy more effective.

My god this document is insufferable, it's no wonder Apple is being so petty, this is blatantly an outcome driven law and exists to dark pattern the other direction. Having to show the choice screen twice if users chose Safari the first time is egregious.
