Apple and Google face scrutiny over browser competition

Mar, 14, 2025 Hi-network.com

Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has concluded that the mobile browser market, led by Apple and Google, is not functioning effectively for consumers and businesses. The findings support the regulator's decision to launch an investigation into the sector earlier this year.

Concerns are largely focused on Apple's policies regarding internet access through its Safari browser, which dominates its devices with an 88% market share. Google's Chrome browser holds a 77% share on Android devices.

The UK CMA's independent inquiry group suggested that if Apple and Google are found to have 'strategic market status' (SMS), regulatory interventions may be necessary to encourage competition. These could include measures allowing rival browsers to introduce new features.

Apple has defended its approach, arguing that proposed remedies could undermine security and user experience, while Google highlighted Android's openness in fostering competition and innovation.

The investigation forms part of a broader effort to assess competition in mobile ecosystems, with final decisions expected later this year.

The inquiry group's chair, Margot Daly, stated that limited competition between mobile browsers is stifling innovation, reinforcing the need for regulatory action.

The CMA's ongoing probe into the dominance of Apple and Google aims to ensure a fairer and more competitive digital marketplace.
