People choose to install chrome it doesn't come with Windows Machines or Macs yet is a very popular CHOICE of browser. IOS we have no choice and forced to to use Safari.
Chrome is sprinting ahead with new feature at a high pace, however, we should make sure the web only uses features that are widely available in all major browsers.
There's a browser that has almost absolute domination of the market, chooses what features become standards simply by shipping them, is aggressively anti-competitive, and yet you're complaining about safari?
With All due respect, this is a very Apple view.
Today, the iPhone has 66% market share in the United States, 75% of U.S. App Store revenues, and over 80% of time spent on the mobile internet. We can debate whether that fit anyone's definition of monopoly. But it is definitely not on a minority platform, nor a minority browser.
Safari's current features set doesn't have much problem as a Web Page browser. And wouldn't be a concern if it wasn't for App Store's policy. But when Apple is the majority or dominant platform in a market these can no longer be looked at as an individual case. And will very likely be used as a weapon in AntiTrust issue.
To be quite frankly honestly I dislike PWA and Chrome and I wish Safari stay the way it is and only Apps Store changes its policy. But right now Apple seems to be willing to fight that at all cost. And there are no middle ground to balance things out.
