Fuck Google:
• YouTube has deliberately crippled Picture-in-Picture and background audio on iPad/iOS for years, but apparently not on some Android phones.
• YouTube has AutoPlay (next video) but no Auto-Repeat. What the fuck?
• On iPhone, Google.com has Dark Mode option (without signing in) only when you Request Desktop Website, but viewing the default mobile site has no option Dark Mode.
• Google apps try to hijack voice dictation to their own servers instead of using the built-in iOS dictation.
• Signing into any Google app will also forcibly sign you into Google Search on Safari. You have to manually delete Google cookies to sign out of Search but remain signed in on the YouTube app, for example.
• iOS/iPadOS features like Dark Mode and Split View still not fully supported in some apps.
• “SafeSearch” (censorship) cannot be disabled in some countries (at least not without signing in, allowing your search terms to be associated with your account).
Really. Why do the biggest companies struggle so much with such basic UX issues? Serious question.
