Maybe Apple shouldn't hold back web standards to force people to install native apps where Apple can extract 30% of all purchases from the apps.
Personally, I don’t care about most of those Chrome specific features. I use Safari because it’s fast and battery efficient. The fact that it’s not made by a company whose main business is advertising is a nice bonus.
Sure, Apple has an advertising business too, but it’s nowhere near the scale of Google’s.
Browser vendors come up with improvements.
The W3C board (which Apple and Google are a part of) gets to vote on the implementations and suggest changes.
The new feature either becomes a standard or not.
Apple wields their power here to block any new feature that could make a web browser compete with native apps where Apple can extract 30% of all purchases made through apps.
Apple isn't making suggestions for any changes to the proposals, they just block any new feature that might let browsers become as functional as native apps, purely out of greed.

Those are quite the mental gymnastics you're doing here. You know, you could just choose not to install Chrome, right?
>If you want to use Google, they have a whole mobile OS you can use.
If someone bought an i-device, they don't get to choose, Safari is forced on them.
>Why take away my choice as a consumer that prefers Safari?
Calm down, nobody is taking away your choice by allowing Chrome to run its own browser engine on iOS. You're totally delusional and making shit up that would never happen.
Apple is the only one that's forcing you to do anything. They are the ones that took away your ability to choose. You seriously sound totally brainwashed.
