The Norwegian-Chinis browser manufacturer Opera sees problems in the implementation of Apple of the European Union’s Digital Market Act (DMA). The responsible product manager Jona Bolin is mainly disturbed by the fact that none of the large suppliers of the surf tool have started making a browser with their own engine – although it is officially allowed. According to Bolin, no one applies the custom engine because Apple separates the markets.
Therefore your own engine is allowed only within the European Union, but not in other markets. It is also not possible that users of the “global” version should be automatically migrated which Apple’s webcid should be used in the European Union. This means that manufacturers must maintain two browser versions and use users to use “correct”.
Do not change, double development expensive
Like Opera Product Manager Apple blog compared to 9to5mac In addition, in addition to the engine theme, there are “many other” restrictions on iOS. “You have to play according to Apple’s rules. They participate. But it also limits them in a certain way. It is as if Apple is not trusting them.” Two versions of Opera browser “are a great risk and high cost”. Webkit’s compulsion means that functions cannot be introduced which is not near the webkit.
Apple should allow its own engine to “in every country” browser companies, not only in the European Union. Alternatively, it should be possible to distribute multiple binergies. “If you are in Sweden or Portugal, you should download it and choose the browser that has a custom engine instead of the system.”
Default app is possible
After all, Opera and the company are now easy to become standard browser under iOS. Apple has made it possible to determine alternative web programs, now it is also possible with telephony, text messages, translations and more.

Setup of default apps It is also possible outside Europe, but there is only one “browser choice screen” in the European Union and the navigation and NFC apps of third -party providers can be raised in only a few areas.
