With the amount of data Apple has from Siri I’m constantly surprised they don’t at least have a stab at building a search engine, possibly one with very fine grained privacy/accuracy controls.
- skbohra123 9y agoYou have to understand that search engine is not a reflection of what people search. It's about searching the 'web'.
- elaus 9y agoI don't think Apple does "fine grained controls"
- m_mueller 9y agoFor the specific context of privacy, they have had more fine-grained controls than Android since the inception of the appstore, until release of Android 6.0 where Android AFAIK has caught up.
- kuschku 9y agoAlmost, but still not. There’s still no way to revoke android.permission.INTERNET And if you revoke any permission to any Google apps, all of them will refuse to do shit, and you can’t even place calls without giving Google access to your location, body sensors, bluetooth, etc.
- andy_ppp 9y agoIt’s one setting thinking about it: “Track me and make my search results more accurate”.
- sidcool 9y agoApple can just acquire DuckDuckGo.
- skinnymuch 9y agoIsn't that just mostly using major search engine indexes? I know DDG some of its own indexing, but how much do they really do on their own? I don't see the benefit of getting DDG for them when they'll have to deal with the major search engines providing most of the data anyway.
