🔢 Blogged on iOS browser engine choice and what Mozilla, Google, and yours truly responded to the 🇬🇧 United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) mobile ecosystems market study interim report: https://t.co/QHYBFQmwQU.
@etiennetalbot @diekus Thanks for the additional details. Linking to `file:///` URLs is not possible due to security reasons, and other than running a local server that serves a local folder, there’s no way around it.
@ekr____ @mozilla Ours is similar: “Competition between browser engines […] means browser apps on Android can differentiate themselves by incorporating a range of features and functionalities that are not available on iOS,
where all browsers are require
@ekr____ @mozilla Well, this is a good statement: “Without regulatory intervention we believe there will be no change to the status quo, harming competition in browser engines and browsers, and harming innovation online.”—https://t.co/xmkFsyaYae. More p
@ekr____ @mozilla For context, this is some of the conversation I’m talking about: https://t.co/47vIXzcEVz. “Being loud on the Internet” is meant metaphorically, not literally.
ekr____ @tomayac @mozilla Corrected: I think it would be a good thing for Apple to allow other browser engines on iOS. As a matter of principle, having platforms restrict the software people can run on them is in tension with allowing people to experience the Internet on their own terms.
@ekr____ @mozilla You have hacks.mozilla.org as an outlet. But I do understand it’s a complex situation with many aspects not necessarily visible to outsiders.

@ValentinGosu @mozilla @ekr____ I’m blocked by Serena. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ValentinGosu @mozilla @ekr____ Well aware. But the silence now (where there is a certain momentum) is surprising.
@voxpelli @kennethrohde @jaffathecake @mozilla @ekr____ Right, but it’s a massive engineering investment with unknown ROI. Technically, it could be done for sure. By anyone, not just Googlers (the Chromium part, not Chrome). It could be offered for side-l
@jaffathecake True. But loyal Firefox users might still want to enjoy the document Web on iOS on real Gecko Firefox, even if Mozilla have given up(-ish) on the application Web on mobile.

@davatron5000 I work for a megazord FAANG company, but the same (G) since I’ve left university, which was in, erm, 2007. I feel like people value short stints at many companies (ideally FAANG) more than one long loyal term at the same company. Do I care
What surprises me the most about this situation (see quoted tweet ⤵ï¸) is the silence from @mozilla. Wondering to hear @ekr____’s view. https://t.co/4M6m7QhYmJ
