Whenever you tap a link in the iOS YouTube app, it starts nagging you to download Chrome, or continue with the old boring Safari... There's a pre-checked switch at the bottom of the dialog that says "Ask me which app to use every time". Now, even if you uncheck the switch and choose Safari, they will only let you off the hook for around a day; after this cooldown period you're "offered" to download Chrome yet again, ad nauseam!
Just a gut feeling, but I think if I had installed Chrome once, they would never show me this dialog again... :)
Seriously Googlers, how do you look into the mirror each morning?
- falcolas 8y agoIt's either "not my project" or "not my fault" (pointing at PM/Management/Marketing), or "it's actually a good thing". So, pretty much like everyone else associated with companies that do moderately shady things.
- hesarenu 8y agoChrome is just a safari skin. There is no freedom to choose browser render in iOS.
- aaaaaaaaaaab 8y agoYes. Chrome is just a Safari skin plus Google’s tracking. Which makes this dialog in the YouTube app even more ridiculous.
- Phenomenit 8y agoSame with the Gmail app. For the nth time I don't want to use chrome! So infuriating!
- sefrost 8y agoAlso, the Gmail app doesn't open links in the "proper" Safari app, so you're never signed in to anything!!! It's infuriating and I began switching e-mail provider because of it.
