Safari is the browser with the second highest usage share and is not in any way based on chrome. It’s limited to Apple platforms though, so other users can’t switch without buying new devices.

Yeah, telling me I can switch from Linux to MacOS is not exactly a solution.

That said, Apple took money from Google to make Google the default on Safari. While I don't think Apple will crumble without Google's money, $18 billion certainly more than funds the development of Safari.
