Comment on new foss adblocker for safari (macOS, ipadOS, iOS)
bamboo@lemm.ee 1 week agoIt’s really best in class in that regard. It’s the most customizable mobile browser. Firefox in android has more extensions, but Safari’s actually integrate better in the UI and you can use shortcuts for simple things too.

Out of curiosity, what functionality and what rights am I sacrificing?

You can’t load software on your own device unless apple gives you permission even though you bought the device. I know how this goes every single time though. I can list features you don’t have or reasons why apple is trash and none of them will concern you at all. You will claim you don’t need other browsers but safari, you don’t need features android has had for years, you don’t need usb-c. Exactly the same conversation every time. When apple eventually gets any of these features, you will be ecstatic and love the company for them. It’s a cult.
And inb4 I am in the Google cult. Nope, fuck Google.

Those are a lot of words you put in my mouth. In fact, I can and have sideloaded apps (the process is stupid and overcomplicated, but it does work, I am not in the EU), and my iPhone does in fact have USB C (was a dealbreaker, I used a Pixel until iPhones had USB C). I wish I could use other browsers on my phone besides Safari but it’s not a dealbreaker for me, I can and do run Firefox on my computer when I need a different browser for any reason, I hope this will change in the future.
