        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.
