Lmao, how does this bullshit get upvotes? Is chrome on android not chrome because it isn't bit for bit the same as on desktop? This is an incredibly blatant attempt to circumvent regulations. It is absolutely absurd to make this argument.

It's actually not that absurd, because Safari is actually very different on iOS. Safari on macOS is just an application. Safari on iOS is an application but also an OS component with its own system API calls for developers to use.
