iOS probably hurts Firefox. Any Firefox installs on iOS don’t really matter, since WebKit is being used on the backend. That said, I think it hurts Chrome more than Firefox, so I’m not all that upset about it. I think iOS is the only thing stopping Chrome/Blink from being the only browser anyone writes for, much like IE before Firefox came along. I think it’s important that Blink doesn’t end up with that market share. Once it’s past a certain point, everyone feels forced to use it so their pages work, and they end up on autopilot to 98% a market share. That that point, Google essentially owns the web, even more than they already do. I’d have less of an issue with this if they weren’t ad company with data collection as their competitive advantage. There are a lot of conflicts of interest when it comes to Google and the future of the web. |
