OK, I just don’t get it anymore. I mean I’m a happy Firefox user, so it’s not like this personally impacts me, but how in the heck is seemingly nobody acknowledging that this has been the behavior in Safari for a long time now? This seems to be a recurring pattern.
- noisem4ker 6y agoI've got a couple of guesses. Apple is somehow regarded as being a pro-user company, not having plans of taking over the web. Also, Apple users are accustomed to UI changes that result in visual simplicity. Nevermind that their actions result in patronizing the user just the same as Google does, in their case those actions are more likely to be perceived as innocuous.
- yreg 6y agoCmd+f Safari, I'm equally surprised no one but you mentions it. However: I believe Apple's motives are aligned with their users and they want their browser to be as safe and as easy to understand/use as possible. Their primary intention is to sell their shiny expensive hardware. With Google it's more controversial, because who knows what's the plan. Combined with AMP there is a reason to be wary. Ofc, one can make bad decisions based on good motives.
