This site has a category called "Browser choice must matter" which is nothing but a series of articles slating Apple and Safari. Nothing about Chrome's desktop dominance or Google's abusive practices at all :thinking-face:.
It will seem odd to most, but my big concerns about Chrome relate to Android and ChromeOS. In neither environment did Chrome win share competitively. I think this has made them weaker and less useful, and that was mirrored in the tremendous difficulty we had in getting expansions of web capabilities done within the Chrome team, nevermind what I am documenting in this most recent post.
Sadly, the CrOS problem will be partially resolved when Google trashes it with Android rebasing in upcoming releases. On the Android side, Google is still withholding WebAPK support from competitors (suppressing PWAs on Android) and has failed to follow Apple's lead on hotseat browser replacement when choice screens are shown in the EU.
But neither of the bad effects are nearly as structural or impactful as Apple's out-and-out suppression of the web on mobile, because wealthy people carry iPhones and they have all the power:
> Windows even asks you if you want to use something else other than Chrome if you're in the EU.
And not by choice. It was a 2010 legal decision. Pretty confident that if the court didn't force Microsoft to do it they wouldn't give you that option.
Because it's specifically about mobile browsers and not desktop as indicated in the category header and you can actually use a competing browser on Google operating system? :thinking-face:
