Thank you! I had an argument with some streamer who said Apple are the best phones for privacy reasons, talking about the (IMO) sham case about feds not being able to access iPhone data and all I had at the moment was how corporations don’t care about you and there is no oversight so we are taking them at their word when they say they won’t spy on us. :thumbs up:
Well, when compared to Android, Iphones are for sure much more private! But that comes at the cost of freedom of choice. For example, on Iphone, you can’t have a non-safari based browser, so that means no Firefox, and no uBlock Origin.
I’m using Firefox in my iPhone but not tried uBlock Origin yet.
The Firefox version on IOs is basically just Safari with a reskin so that the Firefox brand is available on IOs, the same is true for all browsers on the App store.
Apple doesn’t allow distribution of browsers with an engine other than Safari on Iphone.
Oh, now I understand what you mean
I’m curious, uBlock origin is available for Firefox on IOS?
no, it’s not available in iOS but there are other like AdGuard, AdBlock …
Yeah, all of them are less powerful than uBlock Origin. But it’s still better than nothing.
But can you uninstall safari ?
Yes, I can
Just removed Safari right now and Firefox keeps working …
My fault, I can’t remove it. It’s still there on apps library.

I mean we’re comparing them to Google’s Android. I just said that they are more private. Being more private than a google product is really not that hard.
And Android phones give much less freedom to the user than they should be. The smartphone ecosystem is a disaster for the consumer.
