Explaining the joke :
I'm making fun of the fact that all browsers on IOS are required to use WebKit.This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don't need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.
Yes but let's remember everyone that Apple did their "best" in this. If a developer makes a browser that doesn't use WebKit, then can publish that version only in Europe. For the rest of the world it's still forced to publish the usual "Safari skin". Basically doubling the work and the monetary cost of developing a browser.
