    While you can’t uninstall Safari, it doesn’t constantly discourage you to use other browsers like Edge does. Nor does Mac OS prevents you from installing competing apps.

    The bigger problem is iOS, but the EU already took care of that and we’ll be able to sideload apps on iOS pretty soon.

      Does Mac prohibit other browser engines like they do on iOS?

      Doesn’t do a lot of good, that they let you use other browsers if they are just reskins for Safari.

      I remember Mac os ignoring my default browser choice many times and instead launching a web page in safari.

      True, I forgot that part. Thanks! Still, it comes as weird for me to have software (zero tied to OS functions ) I cannot remove

      Mac literally doesn’t allow any other browser engine. They only allow webkit.

      So your options are:

      • Safari

      • Safari with Chrome aesthetics

      • Safari with Firefox aesthetics

      • Safari with [insert browser here] aesthetics
