  yeah, its such a small market that it isnt really viable.

    Additionally, based on the way Apple implemented it, the dev would have to resign in Europe.

    Maybe that has changed as they keep making changes. Either way they are being huge dicks and have turned me off from their platforms and services.

    My sarcasm detector isn’t going off, so I’ll bite.

    A small market?! 450 million afluent consumers not enough for you?

      What’s the market here? People don’t pay for browsers and the way it’s monetized is via ads… which is problematic in the EU thanks to GDPR. So here this would mean a free browser without being able to use ads.

      I personally do want it, and would pay for it, but I’m rather convinced the other 450 millions are not.

        It’s the same market as there is in the US or the rest of the world for controlling browser market share.
