Curious, how are you "severely affected" by the Safari WebKit monopoly. I keep hearing people say this and I literally have no idea why this is such a massive problem.
Safari WebKit is limited in comparison to Chrome's Blink or FF's Geiko in terms of features available and sadly it accumulated a lot of bugs that are waiting to be fixed since Apple opted to a slow release cycle model unlike the other evergreen vendors.
Also worth mentioning that web devs are usually considered power users when it comes to browsers and that's why our use profile and needs differ from that of the ordinary user
Huh, I'm a web dev and never really had any extraordinary problems with Mobile Safari. Oh, there have been bugs, but that's true of all browsers. Plus, as a web dev, what I install on my devices is irrelevant.
