Hello, Alphabet world domination. They finally get the chance to get rid of that pesky Safari. Next stop: obligatory sign-in for using a service.

I bet that Chrome adoption on iOS remains under 25% forever. People just don't care which browser they use so long as the default one works. Safari isn't so bad that people are desperate to replace it.

There won't be any "default one" anymore, because the law appears to prohibit Apple from preinstalling Safari:

>[won't be able to]

>pre-install certain apps or software, or prevent users from easily un-installing these apps or software

>require the most important software (e.g. web browsers) to be installed by default when installing an operating system
