Both Chrome and Safari are the new IE, but for different reasons; the former, pushing their own browser standards, and the latter, falling behind in standards and being a pain to develop for and use.

Truly, Firefox is the only one that stops either.

mozilla is an org that lost its focus and goes after butterfly projects while their browser is the slowest and heaviest on battery with a tiny user base.

i am a firefox user everywhere except ios, where it's safari. i dont mind the diversity actually, use a safari integrated blocker, not much worse than ublock and i'm sure my battery thanks me for it.

It's more choice than a monopoly.

Firefox on Android uses Gecko.

I think that's what GP meant.

gbil was talking about browser engine choices on their Android, explicitly talking about how much they don't like iPhones.
