This assumes Google ships features that are useful to people. But, what do we get in return?
A privacy-invading feature like FLoC which thankfully has been disbanded. And Google even controls specs. Thankfully, due to safari web is free from the monopoly of Chrome. Today some website doesn't work in firefox. Do you think that is good for the web?
I understand the shenanigans of Apple here. They just want to make sure people make apps instead of the website so, that they can egregiously charge a yearly fee + 30% of revenue. But safari does protect the web in some way by challenging Google.
- AaronFriel 5y agoGoogle isn't the only company shipping a browser. They may be the highest by market share, but I think that Firefox, Brave, and numerous others would like to be able to compete on the merits on iOS. They cannot.
- cute_boi 5y agoBrave Engine - Google Chromium Edge - Google Chromium Vivaldi - Google Chromium Opera - Guess what? Yes its Google Chromium Electron - Google Chromium The only two other engines are: Webkit Firefox Firefox is barely surviving and is using funds from Google. If Google stop those funds, its gone. Webkit is from Apple and if you look on my apple it is only alternative till today. If IOS allow other browser then you should know web will be in hands of Google. Google can do whatever they like. And web being in hands of Google is dangerous.
- AaronFriel 5y agoPerhaps Firefox would not be "barely surviving" if it was able to have a presence on one of the most valuable mobile platforms, iOS?
