Users cannot request providers do it for them. As in you requesting Comcast sell you a Facebook-only plan is in violation of net neutrality even if y'all both want it. Doing anything you want as a end user on your own system or a provider sending you whatever bytes they want is still neutral because nobody in the middle (device, network provider, etc) is doing it.

What other engine can I use other than mobile Safari? Maybe I wasn't clear with "browser". I mean as in no Apple code, my own rendering engine, etc so that Apple can't make decisions about what it does.
- shkkmo 9y agoWhile I'm not a fan of the "webkit only" policy on iOS, I'm pretty sure this tracking blocking is not included directly in the webkit rendering engine and thus other iOS browsers would not be affected by this change. If you want to run something with no Apple code, don't run iOS. Otherwise you are running the non-FLOSS code and trusting them at some level. It seems silly to distrust webkit because it is "Apple code" (which is FLOSS) and yet trust iOS (which is not FLOSS)
