As is Safari.

Over the last decade, Safari has been innovating in areas that people aren't calling for, and are trailing years behind in areas that people want to use.

Thank god for the collective effort of the Epic v Apple lawsuit, the recently approved EU regulations designed to allow other browsers on iOS devices while allowing users to uninstall Safari, and Jen Simmons' user and developer advocacy, giving the kick in the pants to force Apple to start catching up with the other browsers.

Unfortunately all this will do is speed up Chrome's already out of control market share growth. It'll kill the web, because companies will be able to deploy Chrome-only features, and force iOS users to install Chrome to proceed.

Ok. Given the downvotes it sounds like those people are pretty mad about it. Specifics?

I'm talking about a browser here, like the parent was talking about a browser and not talking about an operating system or a company. We all get that distinction, right?
