That article specifically mentions that Google doesn't restrict installing apps from sources other than their store.

Thanks, did you know your username is a wheat product that contains gluten?
It's technically illegal to make a copy of that data for yourself and then to sell the original (while keeping the copy). That obviously doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but...
For real. It would obviously be better if they didn't use such destructive and predatory practices, but "vote with your dollars" isn't an option for a lot of the people these businesses earn most of their money from.
It turns out that there is, in fact, a case to be made for regulation and labor organizations in these situations.
I mean I did tell you which one. I just didn't tell you how to find it.
Well, it's a specific example, even if I didn't give any way to test it. Better than just saying "some websites don't work" since I'm actually indicating the particular one that doesn't.
I guess your two options are to trust that I'm acting in good faith when I say it or to assume I might not be and disregard the example. Either way doesn't affect me much; I've already submitted tickets to the service asking for Firefox support, so with any luck it won't even be an issue for too long.
I mean, yeah. I'm none too bothered by that one, but it's still an example.
Oh, and I can't seem to get tiktok videos to play on Firefox on Android? Not a major issue, but my sister keeps sending them to me in particular for some reason, so...
Not a very big website, but the service my therapist uses for teletherapy doesn't support anything outside of chromium.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
The standard for Tesla chargers wasn't even released until November 2022, so up to that point it wasn't possible for other people or organizations to build Tesla chargers. Tesla (so far as I can tell from my research) released the first official adapters in mid-late 2022, so until that point it wasn't possible to use other chargers as a Tesla owner without using aftermarket reverse-engineered adapters.
It's stylistically acceptable to put an apostrophe for plurals in cases where the plural thing isn't a "normal" word, as is the case for initialisms like UI or numbers like the latter two you caught.
Obviously a given body may make its own rules in this regard, but luckily English has no overall authority, and this is informal communication outside the domain of any minor ones (beyond, perhaps, idle pedants and prescriptivists).
