It does favour Apple in the market, though, because Apple can still see all the traffic, which is what the CMA in interested in. What is needed is for the mobile companies to offer the same protections that Apple offers, so all will benefit.

- vlovich123 5y agoYou’re assuming private relay is like a VPN. It’s not [1]. Apple can see your IP address but not the service you are connecting to. The independent private relay partner (eg cloudflare) can see the service being connected to but not your IP address. The website can see nothing about the connection (unless you login). This also prevents tracking you across sites btw. [1] https://blog.cloudflare.com/icloud-private-relay/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/icloud-private-relay/
