Really? I Never got a weird message from Apple about other browsers being bad or potentially dangerous, and I tried Vivaldi, DDG, Brave, Firefox, Firefox Focus, and I currently have DDG set as my main browser.

And of course I can delete Safari from my iphone if I wanted to.

Indeed, because you are actually still using Safari under the hood.

Does it count as Safari in stats? If it did, they’d have a 100% market share, wouldn’t they?

Not in the EU

AFAIK only on paper? At least, last time I checked, there were no non-WebKit browsers available yet (at least not Gecko or Blink).

You don't get that message from Apple, but the people who would otherwise offer you a meaningful choice of browsers do. They can only do what Apple permits them to do, which isn't much.

[dotcoma]

They need to get their browsers listed on AppStore, sure.

[cyberax]

Apple prohibits JITs outside the EU, and this makes a modern browser a non-starter.

Or to put it another way, they can only do what Apple permits them to do.
