The data I shared in this talk keeps me up at night. The web is going gangbusters on desktop -- but it's dying, *actually dying*, on mobile, where users now live. Why? Sites built for desktop shoehorn'd into phones & policies that undermine browser choice + web competitiveness.https://twitter.com/FronteersConf/status/1181295096752492550 …
First, you've asserted without evidence (vs. the evidence I presented about time-spent data and trends) in the talk that it's not as dire as I suggest. Hitchens' Razor can be a real bear.

Past that, you might imagine that we (along with Opera, Mozilla, and all the other browser vendors who ship iOS browsers) are smart enough to have thought of this...and it's complicated.

But none of that excuses Apple suppressing choice and capping how good the web can be through low investment. I support voting with your wallet, of course, but it's not a workable fix to structural prejudice against the web.

I looked at the pictures posted - but couldn't see any of the slides with the actual data - are they available somewhere? Not trying to outright dismiss your data, on the contrary, I'd love to review it. I'm more suggesting that some level of bias should be acknowledged.
