Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve switched to Firefox on my mac and iphone for personal use. I just need to move some web development stuff around so I can switch to Firefox on that too. I may even uninstall google chrome, but for now I’ve just taken it off the task bar.

Correct me if I am wrong but arent Apple based browsers all modifications of WebKit/Safari?
Or is it a iOS/iPad OS specific thing and MacOS is actually free from those restrictions by being able to sideload.

  That’s exclusive to iOS/iPad OS. There aren’t any such restrictions on macOS.

  They are all webkit-based, but they can add their own integrations like Google account login for Chrome or Firefox Sync. So it would still be benificial to boycott if you reasonably can and are willing, especially with the recent App store developments Apple might even ve forced to open up browsers as well.

  That’s an iOS/iPadOS thing. Mac browsers can use any rendering engine they want.
