15 years ago people were using PCs to surf the internet.
Now a huge portion of net traffic is mobile devices. Those are far more locked down. It is not as easy to install and use a new browser on IOS or Android devices.
People around here seem to forget that for a large number of internet users a phone or tablet is their primary interface.
- reisse 4y agoIdk about iOS, but on Android it's just go to Play Store, install browser and tap on "make it default"? What's the difference with PC here?
- malermeister 4y agoI'm using Firefox on Android right now, including ublock. I just got it from the Play Store. It might be trickier on iOS, but that's not a technical limitation and imo an antitrust case waiting to happen. We'll see if the Digital Markets Act forces their hand.
