Google tracks individual users per Chrome installation ID

Safari has the same kind of AdBlock limits that Chrome team wants to implement. Also it's kinda behind the curve on iOS when it comes to features.

Not to mention the fact that iOS users are forbidden from using any competitive browser, including Firefox.

I'm not sure what you mean by forbidden? Chrome and Firefox (and other browsers too) are readily available through the iOS app store.

Those iOS browsers you see in the app store are just wrappers for the same Safari browser engine.

They all use Safari to display the page, they just wrap the Safari browser engine with their own toolbars and other features.

WebKit is not Safari.

And they don’t open when you click links on the device, only MobileSafari does.
