This article is also only applicable to EU, where (as your link mentions) alternative browsers don't need to be WebKit. Chrome and Firefox are already working on switching.

In Russia, Safari becomes you!

You need to meet more young people they don't know either specifically because companies like google and apple try to obscure competition by making their way seem like the only way.

Can you please elaborate what you mean "web browser defined in 2024"? Thanks.

The average people don't know the concept of browser. I saw people using Google search (the app) as a browser. I saw people trying to login in their webmail using Google search (the app), then in order to see what photo they wanted to upload they went back to home by closing the WebView, watching the photo, then using again the Google search app to login in their webmail. Extremely infuriating, I wanted to die.

I kinda like the baseline security advantages. Not that android can't be better in security, but none of my friends give a shit, and so my iphone friends walk around with better baseline security.

hello ,

ok, here is more than a few posts on this. that said: both have made alot of strides recently, basically the order of consensus is:

• a google pixel flashed with graphaneos
• iphone
• pixel
• samsung and use adb to remove everything you can.

also, how the devices are setup and used matter alot. other than a pixel + graphaneos, iphones tend to be better at privacy but the devil is in the details. iphones are also more "hygienic" in alot of ways, that you cant see. BUT android is open source for the most part, and are HGIGHLY configurable. and hardware wise has wider variety of choices.

security wise also pixel + graphaneos tends to be top shelf. but iphones, tend to have decent track record. and with proper setup and some addons, it really locks down pretty decently. for other androids, the proper addons, and adb mode to remove all the junk.

support wise? pretty much apple kills it, and everyone else is second and in some cases really distant second or even worse. also google does csam scanning and has blocked folks in false positives and the support structure does not have any way for manual review to get your account back it takes months of fighting them from the reports I have read.

this is all part of the really bad support model thats google. while, google one support of easy things is decent, when it gets real your chances get dicey.......

apples support is decent on all levels, not great but decent and in almost all cases better then googles.

data protection? its an apple game now, you can enable adp and the key that encrypts your data is yours and apple documents what key encrypts what data. google, on the other hand, says they encrypt things but the dont really have any good documentation on whats encrypted and whos key encrypts what noor do they allow you to use a key you create like apple does.

backup and recover? while they both do it, apples backup and restore is light years better, googles works, but app level stuff the app devs must create a manifest which tells the backup process what to backup etc. so, over all they both work, its just that apples works better.

applepay vs googlepay, they both work and both are secure, but apples doing full tokenization and googles doing virtual credit card numbers to front for your real card, googles nebales more compatibility with banks easier, apple requires actual setup and key exchanges to onboard each bank. but in the long run while both are considered good, apples is the better way.

IOT and automation, both have a ton of automation, tho googles probably ahead here. but for the iot and home stuff a new standard "matter" will standardize it all so future state wont matter what device you have.

thats it for now.

Only in the EU the browser companies can use their own engine in iOS, in the USA they only can use Apple Web~~Crap~~Kit

I don't believe there's any issue actually building the app. However, the app store policies forbid them from shipping it or offering it as a side-loadable option.

Does that actually do anything?
