This response literally proves fanboys and employees will offer circuitous logic to substantiate Apple. iOS Safari W3C non-compliance is well known, a little googling will lay out the (intentionally) missing features.

You go to lengths to defend Apple, but do not have the guts to let the consumer pick a Google/Mozilla alternative engine. What is Apple so scared of, if not a level playing field.

This is the same company that retroactively modified it's store policies to substantiate booting steam off the app store. Courage in the face of competition, not!!




I was a bit surprised to learn a year or two ago that the browser makers have pretty much divorced W3C:

The illogic here is a little scary: Firefox and Safari on iOS basically have the same level of web standards compliance according to html5test.com, yet one is intentionally not implementing features?

No fanboyism; just the facts.


It's not that surprisingly that the one making the decisions about the browser engine is blamed, not the one forced to use the browser engine instead of their own, is it?


To be clear, the html5test.com numbers for Firefox are for Firefox on Android.

Not 468.


The numbers I quoted were from Firefox 48, not 68.
