Japan is making Apple allow non-Webkit browsers on iOS | Infinium-tech
Japan is joining the European Union in forcing Apple to allow non-Webcit browsers on iOS. After the European Union’s Digital Markets Act, which came into force last year, Japan now has a smartphone act.
This will be applicable by December, and the alternative browser will ban or obstruct the engine, in fact it is necessary that the Apple allows any third-party browser using any rendering engine.
Apple should also avoid practices that provide impractical or commercially unacceptable to the use of third-party browser engines. This is designed to avoid conditions where Apple will technically comply, but will actually make it so difficult for developers to use engines other than webcat that nothing will actually change for consumers.
Apple will also have to allow access to third -party browser engine up to API similar to Webkit. Apple can provide other APIs, but they may not be physically inferior to the use of safari and webkit. Finally, the smartphone act gives a mandate to the like browsers, where consumers like they like them. Such a choice screen should be displayed “immediately after activation of the device”.
