Of desktop, maybe.

Overall (and like 60% of all browsing is now mobile), no way. Mobile is where alternative browsers really suffer. Firefox actually seems OK for Android but it’s not quite as slick on many sites, probably due to them targeting Chrome. Apple force Safari on you so you can’t use Firefox at all.

On iOS, Apple only allows browsers to use Safari’s WebKit. So they all use the same rendering engine, effectively making all iOS browsers Safari clones.

You can pretend that you do. It’s almost the same thing, but not quite.

Can you? When did they change that?

I always thought they forced everything to use Safari under the hood.
