Safari is the new IE

If I'm not wrong, Apple allows you to install Chrome on iOS? Of course for a long time they didn't allow other browsers to use their Nitro Engine (so deliberately forced them to stay slower), but seems now they allow that as well ...

Again, it doesn't allow them to be made as the 'default' browser - which in itself is a big reason to criticize them.

You're not wrong, I'm looking at Chrome on my iPhone right now, I don't know what parent is talking about.

Dig a bit deeper. That is only a Chrome shell around (a slightly crippled) safari.

Aah. I knew it 'used to be' the case, but didn't know that it is still the case, especially after Apple started allowing other apps to use the Nitro Engine (WKWebView). Just came to know that due to other technical limitations by Apple, Chrome still can't use it [0].
