I don't think is a question of what the companies want, but what do their users use.Īs long as Safari is the dominant browser in Apple's ecosystem, they will make sure you can max out the value received through other ways that align more with their vision and proprietary APIs. Google with Flutter (towards cross-platform API UI dominance) and so on. From Apple moving Metal forward instead of Vulkan, Microsoft with Directx12. This kind of API strategies are everywhere the software touches.
They deliver value through their macOS/iOS SDKs, which are ecosystems they fully own.Īpple moves Safari as minimal as possible (regarding new APIs added) to make sure people can still browse, but while still incentivizing their own routes. However, Apple argument is not about delivering value to their users via a browser, since that's an ecosystem they don't control. there is obviously a burden on what is needed to be implemented for a browser in 2020 vs what was necessary 10 years ago. The only way to be up to date with all those changes is power (operating money).įirefox is barely able to catch up with all the updates to the standards. However, they do it with the main propose of governing the ecosystem where those APIs are pushed (the web).
Of course, they have operating power to move forward 300 APIs at the same time. Google Chrome is Google's master plan to remove responsibility from the Operating System and put it into their full control.
