So you’re ignoring my entire comment and re-iterating the part I didn’t respond to.

Nothing in your comment makes any difference so long as Apple blocks other browser engines on iOS. I honestly don't give a fuck what they do with Safari as long as they allow real Chrome to exist on iOS, which I can then instruct my users to install because Safari is a piece of shit browser.

[nwienert]

Safari is better than Chrome imo, technically, UX and otherwise, but you're entitled to be mad about lock-in. I just wasn't responding to that part.

[leptons]

technically?? With all those modern and useful APIs they don't implement? That's how they're technically better by not having useful tech? Wow. Okay, you do you.

[nwienert]

I linked to my source, I think you haven’t updated your priors in >5 years or so.

Apple sez: We don't want to implement any of those APIs, and we forbid you to use a browser that implements them, because reasons.

Your comments are some Stockholm-syndrome level nonsense you're spouting to protect your favorite brand.

[nwienert]

Which API's did they not implement?

I really never commented on lock-in, even said it's fine to dislike it. You're fighting an imaginary opponent here.

I really just pointed out that Safari largely caught up on web standards. It's Google doing the whole "embrace, extend, extinguish" thing that IE pioneered by stuffing non-standards into their browser so they can lock people in.
