IIRC, all web browsers on iOS are using the Safari rendering engine though.

So its still Safari underneath it all. Much like how Internet Explorer / Edge on Windows is really just a Chrome renderer / frontend these days.

EDIT: And since Google is in charge of the Chrome renderer, Microsoft absolutely has less control over internet-APIs / Javascript APIs / CSS details than say... Apple or Google does. Which is the "monopoly" bit that we're really worried about.

When you consider which company "controls the web", its Google or Apple. Microsoft really doesn't have much control of it.

With the new Edge they're giving themselves a boost. They probably won't catch up to Chrome so easily but will have more to say about the underlying engine in a few years time.
