Apple should be forced to show users a screen where they select the browser they want to install when purchasing or upgrading iOS. There are more browsers than Safari and Chrome.

For god's sake NO, that would be the final nail in the coffin of Google owning web standards. 99% of users would choose Chrome because it's what they recognize most, and I assume in this scenario you're imagining this is actually different browsers using their own rendering engines.

I don't understand why in this world of Google's near monopoly on the web, people are more focused on government intervention to prevent Apple's pithy 9% marketshare for holding back poor Google.

Not necessarily. If Brave can somehow present that it blocks ads and trackers many users will choose it over Chrome.

>>hbn+p7
While we're wishing for things that won't happen, Google should also be forced to divest Chrome.

Google will be able to change standards very quickly to their licking and change their websites (google search, youtube, etc.) to only work with their browsers effectively killing any competition.

Brave has blocked YouTube ads for years.

Brave relies on Google for browser engineering.
