On the one hand I dislike that Safari has a monopoly in iOS, but I fear the alternative is a de-facto monopoly for Chrome, which could be even worse.


Firefox could be released for iOS if not for this ban.


And so would Chrome which would, realistically, be far more popular.


What happened to Firefox?


It looses everywhere it competes with Chrome... much as I hate to say it.


It doesn't matter if it can't be even released there. That's the whole point. Apple don't compete on merit, they use monopolistic tactics to ban competition.


When Google puts Chrome banners on google.com, and in gmail popups, is that "competing on merit?" How can I run some ads on google.com?
