Wow, seems awfully anti-competitive that you can’t change the default browser on iOS or iPad OS.

It’s much more anti-competitive than that - there’s no browser to change the default to. All competing browsers on iOS are just shells wrapped around the Safari browser engine.

More or less, yeah, but the difference there is Microsoft had an effective monopoly based on the market share of windows. Apple is treading real close to where MS was, and the more noise we make, the better imo.

Apple abandoned all pretense of choice the moment they started gluing and soldering components into MacBooks.
