    That way Firefox has to submit a different app for Europe, splitting its userbase and making it more complicated for developers. They are pulling every trick they can…

    Apple. I live in the US. I’m thinking of replacing my current iPad with another tablet. If you let me have real Firefox, I’ll probably buy a $750 iPad with a 1500% storage markup as my next tablet. If not, I’ll choose an Android tablet. It’s so simple, Apple. Huge profit or a lost customer. All because of something so easy to implement.

    It perplexes me that people choose to use a platform which won’t let even let them choose how a browser works.

      For me, iOS works substantially better at my employer. At the end of the day, it’s better for some enterprise integration. I wish it was different, but this is probably true for many. EDIT: I’d choose Android if my employer supported it enough to do my job effectively. :(

          I straight up don’t talk about Apple or Windows on lemmy, it’s toxic as fuck. Nice chilling effect with downvoting literally anything that’s more positive than “I hate it”

              In general I have a great time here. I only visit Reddit for niche topics maybe once or twice a week. However, here’s some topics I just don’t comment on because the responses I see others get.

          Lol, I have a Tesla and enjoy Google and all(most) of the their products. Lemmy is unhinged about these things.

        I found the opposite I love the way the work profile functions on Android. It’s logically separated (even to the point you can have VPN setup for just work apps) and you can enable and disable all work apps from a quick settings tile as well as schedule it to turn on and off at certain times.

          Oh 100%, I look at it with envy when I see reviews lol. My work doesn’t have an MDM implementation that’s compatible with that on Android. I took some inspiration from it on my iOS focus modes but it’s not the same. The way my employer has it setup, the calendar and email only work through specific apps on Android instead of device intention like native calendar and email, which inhibits push and exchange. “The shitty boxer app didn’t notify me” isn’t a good enough excuse :/ … okay end of complaining.

            That sucks you guys can’t get an mdm up and going but it’s not free I don’t believe so it makes sense for smaller companies.   I think there is a way to do a sort of homebrew work profile using Tasker or similar automation app to control it.

    OF COURSE this doesn’t apply to the UK, giving me yet another reason to wish kidney stones upon the architects of Brexit.

      I mean, I’m sure they sell Android phones in the UK. Why do you buy Apple products if you are aware of their monopolistic practices that have to be battled with legislation?

        The fuck would I want to actively give all that data to Google for?

        Also, I’ve blagged a couple of fairly old Samsung tablets to use at work, and they’re absolute shit to set up when compared to an iPad. There’s all the stock Google apps, and all the stock Samsung apps that offer the same fucking features, and they keep bugging you to set them up.

        Nah mate, fuck using Android. All power to those who do, but it’s not my bag.

        If safari was a great browser, I don’t think apple would fear competition to the point of fully banning it wherever possible

          Safari is a great browser, especially in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Aside from adblockers what exactly does chrome/ff do better?

            Every other browser except IE has supported web standards more quickly and more fully. Safari is trash.

          I haven’t had problems. I would just like to be educated on what I’m missing out on.
