That way Firefox has to submit a different app for Europe, splitting its userbase and making it more complicated for developers. They are pulling every trick they can…
True, but Firefox has a loyal fanbase.
Apple can be so laughably pathetic at times
Other than creating the M1/M2 CPUs, when in the last 20 years haven’t they been? Fuck apple.
those CPUs just happen to have a huge marketing budget behind and a very loyal fanbase. They aren’t anything revolutionary. Sure, more battery life. In terms of daily usage, the difference with a high end AMD or Intel CPU is unnoticeable other than having a shiny apple on the back of your laptop.
Well I went from an Intel to m1 (work) MacBook and the difference was quite stark. Even at times feels as fast as my home desktop, which is beefy.
OF COURSE this doesn’t apply to the UK, giving me yet another reason to wish kidney stones upon the architects of Brexit.
The only way Apple can make good changes is if the EU forces them to make good changes.
It perplexes me that people choose to use a platform which won’t let even let them choose how a browser works.
For me, iOS works substantially better at my employer. At the end of the day, it’s better for some enterprise integration. I wish it was different, but this is probably true for many. EDIT: I’d choose Android if my employer supported it enough to do my job effectively. :(

I straight up don’t talk about Apple or Windows on lemmy, it’s toxic as fuck. Nice chilling effect with downvoting literally anything that’s more positive than “I hate it”

In general I have a great time here. I only visit Reddit for niche topics maybe once or twice a week. However, here’s some topics I just don’t comment on because the responses I see others get.
Lol, I have a Tesla and enjoy Google and all(most) of the their products. Lemmy is unhinged about these things.
I found the opposite I love the way the work profile functions on Android. It’s logically separated (even to the point you can have VPN setup for just work apps) and you can enable and disable all work apps from a quick settings tile as well as schedule it to turn on and off at certain times.
Oh 100%, I look at it with envy when I see reviews lol. My work doesn’t have an MDM implementation that’s compatible with that on Android. I took some inspiration from it on my iOS focus modes but it’s not the same. The way my employer has it setup, the calendar and email only work through specific apps on Android instead of device intention like native calendar and email, which inhibits push and exchange. “The shitty boxer app didn’t notify me” isn’t a good enough excuse :/ … okay end of complaining.
That sucks you guys can’t get an mdm up and going but it’s not free I don’t believe so it makes sense for smaller companies. I think there is a way to do a sort of homebrew work profile using Tasker or similar automation app to control it.

Please let this come to the US. Safari (WebKit) is so far behind.
In what ways?
Mostly in everything that has to do with PWAs. It’s gotten better since they introduced Web Push last year, but there’s still a lot of things it doesn’t support, like Web Bluetooth, AV1 (except for devices with hardware decoders like the 15th gen Pro iPhones), and things like mobile sensor inputs.
But also in how bad its rendering engine is. Things that work on every other platform render super weird in WebKit.
Thanks. Do you have an example of the super weird rendering? Also are none of what you’re saying here togglable in the WebKit Feature Flags to mess around with bleeding edge features?
Every time I want to use a new feature of web browsers, if support stops me from doing so, it’s always safari to blame.
What was that last or current feature you’re missing out on and what’s the use case?
I really can’t remember an example off the top of my head. Over the last 5 years it’s probably been an issue more than 20 times.
If safari was a great browser, I don’t think apple would fear competition to the point of fully banning it wherever possible
Safari is a great browser, especially in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Aside from adblockers what exactly does chrome/ff do better?
Every other browser except IE has supported web standards more quickly and more fully. Safari is trash.
I haven’t had problems. I would just like to be educated on what I’m missing out on.
Well web developers are the ones typically suffering since are the ones papering over the mess that is safari
Oh my god just let me use my fucking Firefox plugins, Apple. 😑
Apple. I live in the US. I’m thinking of replacing my current iPad with another tablet. If you let me have real Firefox, I’ll probably buy a $750 iPad with a 1500% storage markup as my next tablet. If not, I’ll choose an Android tablet. It’s so simple, Apple. Huge profit or a lost customer. All because of something so easy to implement.
