The fact chromium based browser are going to be allowed as well makes me nervous.

Isn't this what everyone wanted though? The freedom to choose browsers? Or are we going to start mandating Gecko because that's what everyone here believes to be the most ethical?

[-] robber@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

From an idealistical point of view, sure freedom of choice is the way to go.

What makes me nervous is that Safari has been the only big player left besides chrome in regard to usage share on mobile. So while from an idealistical point of view the ban of other engines was certainly a bad thing, it still helped to prevent google from extending its monopoly.

True, but if we're have to have a monopoly of browsers, I'd prefer that the monopoly browsers were actually based on a good engine, rather than one based on an engine that falls over if you look at it.

That is a reason that no one on Mac uses Safari
