      I don’t think safari is even remotely comparable given that it’s a default browser on macs.

        Also, I’m pretty sure it’s not possible to install any other browser on iPhones unless you get root.

        Edit: It looks like you can with iOS 15.0

          Those are all just skins on safari. Until like 6 months ago you couldn’t install any web browser with a renderer other than safari. And that’s only in the EU.

          As I understand it, any browser on iPhone has to be built on WebKit, so even if you install fire fox or chrome, it’s running on a totally different web engine than the desktop version. Making them more safari re-skins in the same way that stuff like brave or opera are just chrome reskins.

          I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it

          Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked

        How so ? The default browser on Windows is Edge, people keep installing Chrome? Chrome is available on MacOS, yet people stick with Safari?

          some people stick with safari, but no one is replacing chrome, fire fox, or edge with safari. People choose to replace edge because it is obtrusive and annoying to use, safari isn’t.

          In that context, safari is not a competitor for Firefox in the same way chrome is. It’s comparing apples to oranges.
