>Firefox and Safari are the only two things keeping Chrome from total dominance.

Safari yes, but truthfully nobody gives a damn about Firefox at this point.

>A lot of people don’t like Safari because it’s from Apple, the priorities they choose, or the fact that is not fully open source like Firefox is.

"A lot" meaning a minority of a minority of people. Lest we forget, iOS is superior to Android in at least the US and Japan, and MacOS continues to gain market share at the cost of Windows.

Most people like (or at least want) Apple.

Thank you for proving why I added that comment about how Safari would not be acceptable to many people.

I agree. FF is a distant third. But it’s the only credible third I know of. Brave, Edge, and friends are just Chromium so they’re the same rendering engine as Chrome.

On the Safari topic I was going by the general sentiment I see on HN. The general public couldn’t care less what is or is not open source.

Over the years I’ve noticed a weird (to me) contingent here on HN who appeared to think the best thing for the Internet would be for Safari to be killed so everyone would be forced to use Chrome.
