Oh and let me guess, they know better than me that I don't need this or that.

Let them suffocate inside their poisonous wall garden as the web gets richer and richer.



Be careful what you wish for! I don't for an instant believe that Apple's motivations here are purely for their users' benefit, but their actions do at least tend to have some beneficial effect on privacy. Letting them suffocate so Google's spyware-laden ecosystem becomes the only viable way to access the web on mobile devices would not be an improvement.


In my opinion only we ourselves can save ourselves from Google. By using things like AdNauseam and educating everyone and their dog about ad blockers.

I don't think the way to fix ad bullshit is to close down everything, I do think it's in opening everything and educating everyone. That way people actually win, not corps, as it should be.
