- ingenieros 10y agoIt seems to me that they shot themselves in the foot when they accepted Google's 1 billion offer to keep their search bar on iOS. That right there bypasses any ad blocker and provides Google with much more consumer insight and metrics than any ad could ever do.
- taurath 10y agoIts not directly to hurt google, but it is a play to make themselves a consumer electronics company rather than an ad company, and as a consumer I'm much more likely to stick with a company that has those incentives rather than google who's bottom line would improve if all privacy would be destroyed.
