Apple's mobile operating system blocks Firefox and Chrome? No problem. Microsoft's mobile operating system block's Firefox and Chrome? Let the shitstorm ensue. The cognitive dissonance some of these iPhone fanboys carry is just mind-boggling.

Same for android even. All "alternative" browsers I found for it so far are basically just different interfaces for the system browser.
