Even desktop Safari does this by default! And yet no one was outraged.

  i think its because apple isnt trying to mitm your web browsing with some amp-style service (yet)

    But Apple does blatantly MITM urls into their own proprietary walled garden! Just a few days ago there was a HN post about Safari On iOS 14 redirecting from certain articles to Apple News. It was, of course, quickly flagged away from the front page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24113056 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24113056

      > It was, of course, quickly flagged away from the front page. what does that imply?

        That the HN audience in aggregate has a hypocritically lower appetite and interest in Apple's web shenanigans, given that a moderator never identified anything actually wrong with the submission and given that Google would be crucified for a similar action in Chrome for Android.

          i always thought it was kind of strange how apple somewhat gets a pass for still releasing it's browser according to basically the IE6 model and worse (since you can't even install competing engines)
