Tech Giants React to Apple's Controversial App Store Changes

Apple is being pressured by the EU to allow competing browser engines on iOS, but Google and Mozilla are unhappy with the proposed changes, which are currently limited to the EU. The new framework, BrowserEngineKit, will require approval from Apple and adherence to certain standards. While this could potentially improve browser competition on iOS, concerns remain about the impact of Google's dominance and Safari's privacy advantages. The EU rules have a compliance deadline of March 2024, and Google and Mozilla are working on full versions of their browsers for iOS.

Mozilla Calls Out Apple, Google, and Microsoft for Unfair Browser Practices

Mozilla expresses disappointment with Apple's new rules in the EU, which allow browsers like Firefox to use their own engines on iOS but only in the EU, making it challenging for browsers to manage different versions. The change means third-party browsers could become fully functional on iOS without WebKit limitations, but Mozilla argues that Apple's proposals create barriers to true browser competition on iOS. Other developers, including Epic and Spotify, have also criticized the new rules, which are pending approval by the EU Commission.
