Apple is the only thing holding back Chromium / Blink from becoming the only browser technology that matters. I hope they keep fighting that fight.

Nobody would install chrome on iOS even if they could, for the same reason they don't try to install safari on android.

  • You'd be wrong. One of six iOS users install Chrome. I do as I use 3 OSes and want all my stuff synced across them, something I can't do with Safari.

They don't fight it for that reason though. They don't care about an open web either.

  • I don’t care why they do it. It’s just nice that their interests and my interests are aligned on this.

    I care about the open web and see setting Google up for a monopoly on web browsers to be just about the worst thing that could happen. A duopoly isn’t much better, but it is better.
