I disagree. i just want to run firefox or chrome directly and completely without using apple's unnecessary & required piece of safari on ios. Let people run the whole web browsing app, if they want to. I'm skeptical of any significant security advantage to the limits on web browsers - after all apple gets hit by the zero days just like other cell phones.

You’re advocating for personal freedom for you and coercion for another. Just drop the coercion and use an Android.

Who would be coerced if I could run whatever software I wanted? Oh, the precious apple corporation? They are coerced all the time by legal restrictions. I'm just asking them to stop blocking it.

I'm hoping anti-trust law will come to bear on software from apple.

The men who work at Apple would be coerced. Of course we are all coerced by the law in matters of morality, I.e. the 10 commandments. But you’re wanting to put “my sideloading” at the level of theft or other such crimes. That’s unreasonable and entitled thinking.
