Ironically Apple ensuring that every browser on iOS runs webkit is one of the only things preventing Chrome from having a complete hegemony of the web.

If you actually want stronger competition the best thing you could do is separate Chrome from Google.



What funding mechanism would chrome have seperate from Google?


A good concern given how firefox/Mozilla was co-opted to some extent


The same one Firefox procures?


So an agreement with Google to have Google as the default browser of Firefox?


Doh, misread the question


If this rule had applied to Windows, there would be no Mozilla.


Or forcing Apple to accept real competition in the browser engine market and fund their team appropriately. Google puts literally several thousands of manpower into Chrome while Apple puts roughly one tenth into Safari. This is not acceptable.


Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should decimate Google's chrome team while we're at it.
