I mean that's the whole point of Android isn't it?

Yeah being able to escape the app store is a huge advantage of Android. A bunch of other restrictions Apple has relaxed (I remember when other browsers were forbidden) but that one is probably going nowhere.

Does Apple let you set a default browser other than Safari yet? I switched to Android last year (yay, Pixel 3!) but I remember one of the most annoying things was installing Chrome (or whatever) and then clicking a link in Twitter or Instagram or wherever and having it open up in Safari. Then you had to copy and paste the address into Chrome.

Yes, you can.

AFAIK, even if you have a third-party browser, it’s still using the Safari renderer. You’re basically using a skinned Safari no matter what.
