Apple claims that it forces Webkit to protect user's battery life. Turns out chrome/chromium has a better battery life.

Apple has a long list of excuses as to why it has to push the web out from mobile.

@owa I don't really understand what is it that you think is going to happen that will help the open web once we only have chrome/chromium browsers...

@r_df_ng @owa Why would we have only Chromium-based browsers? There are many alternative web engines: Gecko, Goanna, @webkit, @servo, Ladybird's LibWeb, Ekioh's Flow. It would unlock competition.

@niutech @owa @webkit @servo Sigh, this is exactly the problem, you are right! There are many engines, it sounds great to have more competition, except everyone who is not a tech inclined person couldn't give a damn, they're all going to select Chrome because that is what they know, and it's this fantasy about choice that will lead us to a chrome/chromium only web.
