          @jterhorst Ok sure, fair enough. But: - Switching mobile platform is not as simple as you make it sound; users are invested in their OS, especially ones that have app store control - iOS has ~50% market share in most western countries and pbbly > 90% among CEOs that greenlight projects

        @jterhorst Anyway. I think it's also dangerous that Safari/WebKit has 100% control over the web on iOS. Fighting a looming monopoly with an actual monopoly is not the way to do it.

      @jterhorst Also kinda unfair to just assume web devs are not testing their work. Unlike with native apps, we target everything. If a feature doesn't work on one browser, it means it can only be considered a progressive enhancement (at best) and better not be a requirement.

    @jterhorst Safari/WebKit is the single biggest point of failure by a huge margin (data from Sep 2021)

      @jterhorst I would like to see competition forcing Apple to invest in Safari, catch up to Chromium and Firefox, making it a better browser. A non-profit is outperforming Apple by a 3~4x margin here, and Apple currently has zero incentive to improve on that.
