Apple is doing such a great job with their privacy features.
- Private Relay
- Hide my Email
Your ISP cannot see your web browsing. So can’t Google.
One time disposable email address for an unknown web site registration form.
All of this nicely integrated in all your iPhone/iPad/Mac and Safari with a great convenience.
Chrome – someone wrote it here - it’s such a resource hungry piece of crap.
The only reason for Chrome is feeding Google/advertisers your online behavior.
I guess the possible reason the EU saying iPadOS is a gatekeeper is Google/advertisers heavy lifting.
- k8sToGo 2y ago> Your ISP cannot see your web browsing You really are falling for those snake oil VPN ads. Btw. What will you do when Apple bans your account because you hold your iPad wrong? All those nice hide my emails won’t be accessible any more.
- throwaway290 2y agoEver heard of a case where Apple banned a legitimate user with no recourse? Plenty of such for Google

- throwaway290 2y agoThat's not banning, that's a security measure working. In Google the stories are of specifically getting banned for violating T&C or something https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34016389 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34016389, not getting locked out. And if you are locked out you can go to Apple Store or call support, tried that with Google?

- throwaway290 2y agoI'm not from EU but EU people from EU countries are usually eager to tell me that the government works for powerful commercial interests. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple refused to play by their rules while Google accepted it. Otherwise it's hard to see why they create a law that basically specifically discriminates against Apple

- user_7832 2y ago> Otherwise it's hard to see why they create a law that basically specifically discriminates against Apple Because pretty much no other major OS has such bizarre/stupid/choose your adjective restrictions on installing software.
