I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

This is disgusting.

It would have been easier to just remove these restrictions for everyone.

It's funny, because I've worked on and off in regulation for some of these companies. Leadership always wants a "scalable regulatory solution" and the answer is always "let's be more open" and leadership is always like "no"

It's actually not hard to be compliant with the laws of 220+ regions. It's just being on the edge of each and every restriction is more profitable.
