Asked an entire room full of webdevs yesterday if any of them knew that FF/Chrome/Opera/Brave/etc. for iOS weren't allowed to compete on engine quality. Zero hands up.

How does forking solve the issue of missing competition? That literally sounds like the opposite. And after forking? Getting diverged again? With Blink taking a head start again? Or rather switch to Blink entirely and having no competition at all?

It's easy to say "oh hey, you can fork the browser engine and make the engine of your dreams". But unless the Chrome team slows down the dev cycle, no one's gonna dare do that and create even more dissonance in this field. It's a very elegant checkmate.

Do you really understand what ‘fork’ is? It is not just copy&paste code on remote server. It is massive commitment just to understand what is going on. I’m not sure that other vendors can provide more value than Apple for iOS ecosystem with their browser engines
