- toomuchtodo 4y agoMost people will though, because they’re either in the Android or Apple ecosystems.
- antihero 4y agoYeah but only being about to login to something if you’re on a certain ecosystem is horrible lock in. It’s why I always choose email sign in over Apple.

It makes sense to approach this new paradigm with a healthy dose of skepticism, but there is evidence your concerns have solutions.
- dwaite 4y agoFirefox should have a platform entitlement that lets them just delegate to Apple's implementation when available. This is I believe what they do on Windows.
- antihero 4y agoI think they need to be in the App Store for this and I’m not sure why they aren’t.
