- croes 3y agoSo Apple fooled you. Apple also happens to sell hardware and software alongside its users. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1330127/apple-ad-revenue-worldwide/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1330127/apple-ad-revenue...
- theturtletalks 3y agoUntil Apple starts messing up Safari to increase that part of their business, I'll keep using it. Chrome was perfect before and didn't need more changes outside of security updates. It was "enshitified" after Google had all the market share and users locked-in. There is no incentive for Chrome to get better since their is no realistic competition. Chromium may get better since Brave and other browsers use it under the hood.
- wubrr 3y agoMeh, Safari and Brave are crap compared to Chrome(ium).
- mardifoufs 3y agoBrave is chromium. And how is chrome better (or worse) than safari? They both just work, and safari is even better for laptops in terms of battery life in my experience.
- wubrr 3y agoBrave is slower than chromium from my experience, had issues related to bookmarks when I last tried it, and it doesn't do stuff it claims to - such as privacy, ad blocking, etc. Safari has weird Apple-isms like nonstandard shortcuts, weird UI, and the dev tools are just kinda shit overall.
- ronsor 3y agoApple doesn't sell me 5 consecutive ads in a row on YouTube.
- croes 3y agoThey still sell you. Just wait and it gets more. Google didn't have ads in the beginning.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThe trick with Apple's advertising is that it's kinda opt in. If you don't want to deal with apple's advertising, don't buy an apple product. If you don't want to deal with Google's advertising, good luck
- wubrr 3y agoApple absolutely has that same business model (though it's not the only one for both companies).
- bryanrasmussen 3y agoGoogle has the business model that if it goes away they're screwed, Apple has the business model that oh well since everyone else is doing it we might as well get a few extra bucks as well, cause we like money, but make sure it doesn't mess with our real business. their models are not the same.
- wubrr 3y agoThey both have many different businesses under the hood, and they both heavily rely on advertising. Both collect, sell, and use their users' data. They even have special deals where Apple sells it's users to Google. Not sure what point you're trying to make.
