When can I ship my own web browser with my own JIT?

This would be for a clear subset of the web, with strong protections.

Obviously, on this venue the question is rhetorical. But Apple's prohibition on any kind of real web competition is a problem.

Do you live in Europe or Japan? If so, you can [1][2]. If not, Apple forbids you from doing so.

The US, Department of Justice is suing Apple [3]. Maybe the US will be added to this list.
