    IDK if Firefox is better or worse to use, I just know I don’t want to use a Google browser. So I use Firefox, like on my desktop.

      Firefox, which has most of the desktop extensions also working on mobile.

          That is on Apple, unfortunately. Every browser on the App Store is a safari engine with whatever browsers skin on top, essentially.

            I thought they lost the court battle about that and were told that they had to actually allow other engines, but I haven’t heard anything else since then.

          I believe that apple restricted other browser makers to using safari mobile as a base. Not sure if that’s true/changed, but I’m too lazy to look it up. So maybe take that with a helping of salt.

            This is true in America. In the EU, Apple was recently forced to allow third-party browsers. But even in the EU, developing those third-party browsers will take time and money.

              Thanks! I knew about the EU rule, and I’d heard they’re basically maliciously complying?

              Also, off topic, funny that you replied to this at probably the exact same time I was reading one of your comments in a different thread. Was a really well thought out comment, and I appreciated your take. 👍

                Hah yeah, Lemmy is a much smaller community than Reddit. I have started tagging users, and it’s surprising how often I see the same tags in the comments sections.

                  It’s kinda nice, we’re big enough to have a fair amount of content, but small enough that it still kinda feels like a community.
