I just want to say that I love how the response to this comment is several lists of 4, with search being the only one present in all of them.

The 4 I was thinking of:

Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube

Chrome is arguably a monopoly if you segment desktop web traffic, but iOS Safari is such a large percentage that Safari can't be ignored.

People will disagree with email - but I challenge you to go look at email threads you're on and see what % of the emails are @gmail.com - not to mention G Suite addresses you don't know are Gmail. Outside of enterprise, there's no alternative.

Not bad either that Android and Chrome are duopolies at this point.
