“Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.”

Perhaps a WebKit monoculture isn’t such a great idea after all?

At least there's only 1 browser to fix on iOS.

Where's the value of everyone switching to Google Chrome like I see with most Mac users? (except for Google and people who need support for some obscure CSS option immediately)

This argument — here, again?

Why did Microsoft base Edge on Chromium's open source foundation?

if there were other browser engines on iOS there'd also be only one browser to fix and it would be whichever had the bug since they don't share code and wouldn't share them bugs

Browsers are complicated - They all suffer from these kind of issues. Check the release notes for all of them and you'd see similar

They also share the implementation language that allows for such kind of bugs, so no wonder.
