... ICANNexit?

I mean

Switching out a computer's DNS root zone is a small operation.

Managing a substitute to ICANN, how much could that really cost? A few million a year?

Hey hey, "Google Chrome" (+ MS Edge) is not everyone else. Firefox exists and is based on Gecko, which is based on Netscape, they've had a separate and unbroken lineage for 23 years now.

Apple's OSS work tends feel well-made (I use CUPS on Devuan, they own that), but they are not and will never be "The One True Web Tech Makers".

Still, they're the biggest ones on the market as of today, if you count their offspring, Blink.
