That one is on apple tho.
Hoping for more EU intervention on those tools.
Although I agree that Firefox should be freed on iOS, but should chrome?
A significant amount of browsers on iOS would probably move to blink/chromium the first chance they get(like they do on Android), which only serves to strengthen Google's monopoly in the space.
The alternative would be ... The EU rules that only webkit and Firefox are allowed on iOS...? That's not happening, nor should it. (Fuck Google still though, I agree with your stance there)
Better than apple doing whatever the fuck they want. Imagine Microsoft would have only allowed IE based browsers on windows. We would still be in the IE days, because why put work into something when you can just force people to use it?
At least with chrome it is used because it is a pretty competent engine.
Genuine question, why stick to ios in that case? I can see a normie who is unaware of these stuff keep using apple since their use case isn't that complex and apple gives a decent baseline.
But, ios legitimately sucks because it's so restrictive and here your personal productivity is going down because of it.
I used Android and its variants for 10+ years. With each version you had to do more and more battle to somewhat safeguard any shed of privacy. It was exhausting.
So I bit the bullet and chose the lesser of two evils. Apple > Google.
Happy so far.
You cloud always use LineageOS or even better GrapheneOS. With Apple, you're just trading one devil for another.
That doesn’t sound like it’s easier than buying an iPhone
It's much more suited to the usecase.
There is no lesser. 4 oz pile of blue shit is same as 4 oz pile of pink shit. Both the enshittification process will enshrine.
Google will crawl over broken glass to steal your data. Apple sells you overpriced shit. they are not the same
Apple doesn't need to crawl over broken glass to steal your data when you just give it to them.
My man, you're living in cuckoo land if you think Apple isn't tracking you.
