> Apple should seek to use its monopoly power on iOS browsers to take greater search revenue
This couldn’t possibly end with large suits.
And after:
> Google are bad for privacy
This article is nuts.
> "And after:"
This indicates that the article is nuts for suggesting Apple should attempt to get deeper into advertising and search while decrying Google's model.
Getting deeper into advertising and search can only erode the part of the company that believes in any rights that the user has.
How is their current system using monopoly power to boost another monopoly worse than supporting an underdog in the search market?
I actually think Apple should have less to do with search funnily enough.
People need to be aware that the default browser is optional, and it's a dark pattern not to alert them to this. Having just reset the phone, I went through the Hello process. It's the only way, apparently, to fix "system memory" taking up the entire amount of free memory. Worked for me.
I wish it would be a lot easier to disable JavaScript on demand, but I just installed Sheriff (free, no payola for me) and will try. Disables JavaScript (and cookies) on a per-site basis.
I wonder how many users even know about the "spacebar trackpad".
- Apple should light $15b/yr on fire, so that they can:
- Build their own search engine, which will somehow be better than Google, and
- Monetise it even better than Google did, somehow
Wow I haven't read such a bad take in quite some time.
Very much press 'x' to doubt though.
