> MacOS will gladly serve Taboola ads in first-party apps and beg you to use Safari in push notifications You may think you are ‘sticking it to Apple’ by making-up this sort of thing, but what you’re actually doing is ruining the debate, and disempowering the customers who are trying to improve the situation. I’ve been using MacOS for over 25 years, and never seen a “Taboola ad” in an Apple application, or received any push notification about using Safari as my browser (which I willingly do anyway).

> I’ve been using MacOS for over 25 years, and never seen a “Taboola ad” in an Apple application Try booting up Apple News. It's a recent change, but a real one and not "made up" in the slightest: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/16/taboola-apple-news-deal https://www.axios.com/2024/07/16/taboola-apple-news-deal > or received any push notification about using Safari as my browser (which I willingly do anyway). Well that's probably why. Imagine how enthused I am to use MacOS knowing that my browser of choice isn't good enough to satiate Apple? It is a real problem, too. Been one for ten long years, as a matter of fact: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253602135 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253602135
