 alright here’s what’s gonna happen: 2024 will be the years of misused variable blur effects and chromium web views. I can’t wait!!! 9 comments
 @samhenrigold Forget chromium, I can’t wait to see what sort of awful garbage Facebook cooks up to get as much of your user data as possible.  @samhenrigold I just don't understand how forcing users to have no choice is seen as a victory for consumers. I appreciate the desire to keep Google from having a monopoly, I'm not against that, but Apple using privacy as a whitewash to extract rent from apps feels very very dubious indeed. It's just so convenient that they make a TON of money with that approach. @scottjenson I’m setting aside the app store stuff and focusing on the browser engine. I will grant apple that this specific anti-competitive behavior is the only thing that has been a net positive to users. The privacy nightmare of Chromium is a very real threat that few “normal” people are privy to and Apple’s fire door is unequivocally a positive. @samhenrigold I'm trying to see your point. Phrases like "privacy nightmare of Chromium" makes that hard. Why? I have ZERO issue with you being critical of Chrome. I don't agree with you but I respect your opinion on that. Chromium I don't really care about, it's Blink hatred i don't understand. This whole fight is about using Blink yet you're tar and feathering Blink for the perceived sins of Chrome. Are you saying *any* browser based on Blink is a privacy nightmare? I just can't see that @samhenrigold @scottjenson I agree with you that the chrome pseudo-monopoly is awful, but the way to fix it isn’t to not regulate Apple, it’s to regulate both of them. @samhenrigold I would probably use Chromium if it becomes available on iOS. Back when I had an iPhone (not too long ago, planning on getting one again soon), Safari was so buggy. Or use Firefox if they port over, that would be my first choice.  |

i don’t give a shit about european market legislation and neither should you. i just don’t love the idea of the Chromium monoculture bleeding into the ONLY place where it has not been allowed to spread.
