APPLE BROWSER CHOICE ISSUE

MISUSING POWER, SAYS ENGINEER

-

> A former Google and Microsoft engineer has claimed that Apple has used its power to “undermine browser engine diversity” and reduce user choice. Alex Russell says Apple forces developers to use WebKit on iOS while maintainin­g a “skeleton” staff on its developmen­t, and has been sluggish to let people change their default web browser. This leads to a lack of choice and sub-par experience on iOS, according to Russell.
