Apple opens up browsers in iOS 17.4, displays default web browser prompt.

Yes, this is EU for now.

I favor the choice but I have a gut feeling I know what most (non-techies) will choose. 🤔

There is some saying this all will have Apple make "more competitive" which would also make the App Store better.

I think Safari has been doing pretty good with CSS improvements in the past few years. Not sure if Safari competition is going to change anything in my scenario. Which i'm confident i'll be wrong about on some level. I'm sure Apple will find some ways to fight to keep Safari a first and best class citizen. As an iPhone user i'm meh. As a web developer, i'm kinda meh.
