I keep hearing the counter argument that "Safari already shipped a version of WEI and no one made a fuss" but I can't tell if that's true or just missing a lot of nuance. Can someone explain?
Nobody made a fuss, because there's a larger amount of folks not using safari than folks that are, so safari wouldn't be able to pull off "block your browser if you're using an ad blocker" the way chrome could, if/when they want. Because safari would only be screwing over apple users.
Thank you!
Of course! No biggie. ๐
Also, Apple isn't an advertising company so their motives are not obviously anti-user like Google's.
