LOL no.. ActiveX on IE was the ultimate lock in, and that is gone now.. Also we have A LOT of chromium based clones that don't have these restrictions.. It will still be a popularity contest.
Firefox however is limited by its in ability / unwillingness to license or implement some DRM features / Codecs which kind of sucks.
An even bigger restriction is how iOS just blocks all competing browser engines. It doesn’t matter what sites do or don’t require. If a site is broken in Safari, I just have to go use a different device. On all other operating systems you do have a bit more options, but they all pretty aggressively push you into using the manufacturer’s choice.
True.. but you can install content blocker plugins on iOS now from the app store and as far as mobile goes Android offer an alternative.
