Comment on Google antitrust trial: Tech giant denies abusing power to gain monopoly - BBC News
sab@lemmy.world 1 year agoI don’t know what you’re talking about. But seeing as Apple won’t even allow other rendering engines on iphones, I doubt Google is bullying them into anything.

Go to business.apple.com on Firefox without a modified user agent string and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

That site won’t load using Chrome on my Android device.
If you have proof that Google paid (or otherwise used a monopoly position) Apple to ensure that site doesn’t work on Chrome for Android I’d like to see it

This is what you get accessing ABM on Firefox
Here is their support page.
I said they claim the site is unsupported on Firefox, yet it functions completely fine. That is what I said. Nothing about it not working on Chrome. Please read my comments thoroughly before you reply.

If we’re going to play the snark game, please read my comments completely before replying.
A site being unsupported by Firefox just means it’s a shitty site. If it did support Firefox, but not Opera, would you make claims that Mozilla paid Apple to block Opera?
Additionally supported and functional are two completely different things. Have you tested every single part of the website in Firefox? What about new versions of the site? Did you test them in Firefox?
Additionally, what even is business.apple.com? I can access apple.com from Firefox to buy a phone or iPad. I can access apple.com/business to learn all about their business offerings from Firefox. I can access BusinessConnect.apple.com to manage my business from Firefox.
The fact that some random Apple site doesn’t work in Firefox just proves that Apple is shitty/lazy. The fact that it doesn’t work on a mobile device is the real crazy thing.
There are plenty of reasons to be upset with Google, we may even find negative monopolistic behavior as a result of this lawsuit. However the fact that some Apple site doesn’t support Firefox isn’t proof of that.
