Quite literally, devs get notices that say “this feature doesn’t meet Apple’s guidelines” - and it’s a feature that’s sometimes existed for years. Plus, “app review” means that you could be stuck in limbo for a few days to a week while Apple tries to figure out whether or not they want to let your new version through - and you’re subject to random new (or existing!) features getting your app rejected. Going into the app store breaks that functionality, and requires the user to manually do updates every time you release a new version. that might impact their security / privacy online. This can be done in a way that’s transparent to the end user (no intervention, no key clicks) - and it can be argued that this is potentially a benefit to users as updates contain bug fixes, etc. You’re a browser manufacturer, who wants to do something like keep your browser up-to-date all the time.

Why would the update process be a downside? Maybe Apple should acqui-hire the Maxthon team so Safari won’t need any more optimizations - they could just fold in the Maxthon code and achieve browser perfection. I do find it fascinating that Maxthon touts “perfect performance”. Many of them are privacy-focused (“browse anonymously” sort of thing), but there definitely are browsers in there. I just popped in there, and there are probably a dozen or so that I saw before I stopped scrolling. Incidentally, Maxthon isn’t the only one. in some circumstances.Ī browser like Chrome or Firefox that was subject to the whim of an app store reviewer as to whether the extension galleries and such violated the TOS for the App Store might determine that it was more trouble than it was worth. I would be inclined to agree, except that I’ve seen stuff about sandboxing guidelines preventing the installation of plugins, extensions, etc.
Browser competition for market share is stiff enough that we’d see more in there if they could gain from it.
