   Sigh, with Britain considering forcing Apple to open iOS to competing browserengines I'm seeing a fair number of "open web evangelists" advocating for it to go through. This advocacy has been there for a while, but I'm seeing more of it now.

   This action will not give you competition. Pushing alternative browserengines with strong visions will! Hence why I'm building one.
