The EU's Digital Markets Act is delivering real wins for consumers in the EU, and in some cases globally. Apple and Google are opening up functionality that was previously reserved for their own products.
But one glaring failure stands out: browser engines on iOS.

And now with Preact support! Will also add support for tsrx in pracht, my little preact framework in the making github.com/JoviDeCroock/prac…

Happy to announce TSRX. Think it as the spiritual successor to JSX.
We extracted it from Ripple, and made it framework agnostic. It can compile to React, Ripple and Solid, other frameworks to come soon.
It's a TypeScript superset language, with a parser, compiler and a selection of plugins for editors Prettier ESlint, etc
It's early alpha but we thought people might be interested in it. 🧵

On Tuesday, the CMA announced that Apple and Google have proposed app certainty and interoperable access commitments. Of particular interest to OWA was the interoperability requirements, as we have argued that the CMA should impose an equivalent to Article 6(7) of the DMA.

The CMA found this increases costs for third-party browsers by forcing them to develop a WebKit based browser:
7/12
ALT It increases their costs by requiring them to develop a WebKit-based version of their browser to enter as a mobile browser on Apple’s Mobile Ecosystem, as opposed to being able to use the same browser engine that they use on other platforms. This means they sometimes have to rebuild features in a different way for Apple’s Mobile Ecosystem, incurring additional costs. A few browser developers submitted that this delayed their entry on Apple’s Mobile Ecosystem.

The CMA found Apple's ban on browser engines restricts the ability of third-party browsers to innovate and develop features.
5/12
ALT We find that the WebKit restriction restricts the ability of rival mobile browsers to innovate and develop features, and increases their costs. It therefore creates a barrier to entry and expansion for rival mobile browsers on Apple’s Mobile Ecosystem and limits the competitive constraint on Safari.

- Let third-party browsers install and manage web apps using their own engines.
- Remove barriers to web app adoption, such as implementing a web app equivalent to smart banners or install prompts in iOS Safari.

The most important outcomes being the CMA can compel Apple to:
- Allow third-party browsers on iOS to use their own engines.
- Provide equivalent access to functionality for browsers using their own browser engines.
