- chii 1y ago> uBlock origin on iOS that is the fault of apple. Firefox on iOS is not really firefox.
- globular-toast 1y agoYeah somehow Apple is allowed to get away with this for years despite Microsoft being forced to give users options like browser back in the day.
- chii 1y agoit is true that iphones itself isn't a monopoly (yet), but i reckon consumer protection should extend to the ability to install arbitrary software on a device they purchased, regardless of the intent of the company selling the device.
- thoroughburro 1y agoThis argument doesn’t hold now that Firefox’s smaller and less funded competition manages to deliver. Being forced to use a webview does not leave you as helpless to implement features as Mozilla stans claim. https://kagi.com/orion/ https://kagi.com/orion/
- chii 1y agobeing able to block ads, vs being able to install extensions, are two separate requirements with different difficulties. In the past, apple was anti-extensions - your app weren't allowed to be able to load remote (and thus unreviewed) extensions that executed code and changed app behaviour.
- mijoharas 1y agoThere's a third party PWA support now, that is maybe semi official? I think the Mozilla docs link to it. Other than it being an extension, I've had no complaints.
