@owa Not for nothing, but Apple have also starved Mozilla of the revenue it needed, while siphoning off profits each of the last five years that would have funded Firefox for a decade. Obscene doesn't begin to cover it:

Apple Is Not Defending Browser Engine Choice

Some folks claim that Apple's mandated inadequacy for browsers and their engines is somehow beneficial to the cause of ensuring a diverse pool of web engines.
