    Why force one company to sell off their browser? Shouldn’t MS have to sell Edge and Apple sell Safari?

      Microsoft having IE/Edge as the default browser has already cost them in the past. I don’t think Apple faced anything with Safari.

      The problem today with chrome is how prevalent it is and how that influences the main product of the internet (advertising), which happens to be Google’s mais product too. Apple can at least make the argument that they make their money with the hardware, not the browser.

      Either way, I think all OS should at least give you a list of browsers on first use to choose from.
