What a bad take, so Apple should not only forgo $15B revenue per year they should also spend a ton of resources to make their own search engine while providing a worse search experience to their users.
Forgive the paraphrasing but:<p>> Apple should seek to use its monopoly power on iOS browsers to take greater search revenue<p>This couldn’t possibly end with large suits.<p>And after:<p>> Google are bad for privacy<p>This article is nuts.
I guess that a tiny percentage of users change any defaults; otherwise it's easy to change the default browser. Should it be a "Hello" option to change it, like your language? Google would not be pleased.<p>People need to be aware that the default browser is optional, and it's a dark pattern not to alert them to this. Having just reset the phone, I went through the Hello process. It's the only way, apparently, to fix "system memory" taking up the entire amount of free memory. Worked for me.<p>I wish it would be a lot easier to disable JavaScript on demand, but I just installed Sheriff (free, no payola for me) and will try. Disables JavaScript (and cookies) on a per-site basis.<p>I wonder how many users even know about the "spacebar trackpad".
If I'm reading this right:<p>- Apple should light $15b/yr on fire, so that they can:<p>- Build their own search engine, which will somehow be better than Google, and<p>- Monetise it even <i>better</i> than Google did, somehow<p>Wow I haven't read such a bad take in quite some time.
