European iPhone owners are being shown a new pop-up screen listing alternatives to the Safari browser. The developers of the browsers shown on that screen are torn about the user experience.
That I’m not surprised. Look how many companies are shoving apps down our throat while treating web browser users as second class citizens. My sister (21-30 age group) only know to use the “Google app” to search the web on her iPhone while Safari is pinned at the bottom and rarey uses it.
the reason is that corps can harvest massively more data with an application installed directly in your OS, rather than trying to stay within the security confines of the browser sandbox
Can you please elaborate what you mean “web browser defined in 2024”? Thanks.
he’s referring to the fact that a web browser is a 30 year old technology and there are apparently people still dont know what it is

My sister doesn’t do that, but other students at my school are like that
