Price matters in markets like India, and WhatsApp is free. Whereas if you want to be discoverable on the web, you are increasingly dependent on paying “protection money” to Google. Otherwise, users explicitly searching for your brand will be flooded with ads from competitors.

For a starter, not have a single party dictating the vision and the future of the through misguided leadership. Especially when that party is seen by some, as deeply unethical and while realistic alternatives are decreasing.

If the requirements to develop a competing browser engine is so high, that you have to be a massive tech company, or at least funded by one (which you could argue that both Gecko and WebKit are by the google search billions), then the web is pretty broken at its core.

Irrelevance for whom? Maybe not being able to use the web as a tool, to compete with native platforms makes it irrelevant for Google, but Google doesn’t speaks for everyone. Without engine diversity the web is no longer open, and that is its largest appeal over native.

Don’t break the web, that is the number one goal. So it is not fair nor accurate to compare Web/JS with other platforms and languages. Few have as much responsibility and reach, and such any change needs to be thoroughly thought through.

With Edge raising the white flag, Mozilla living on borrowed time, Safari maintaining its share through lockout, I guess Chromium won. With a gigantic market share in browser and search, the web might as well be a native platform.

Maybe, just maybe it might be because only one engine company has a billion dollar incentive to further its reach of the once open web, in order to increases its revenues from surveillance, user profiling and behavioural manipulations through targeted ads.

Well put. It is just progress for the sake of progress. In the pursuit of competing with native platforms, the Chromium team is essentially turning the web into a native platform of Google. If you disagrees with their vision then your are holding the web back.

The iPhone already has an encryption back door for almost all users: The iCloud backup. Apple was going to close that door, but backed down in fear of angering the FBI. For shame. reuters.com/article/us-app…

WOW.
AirBnB has a pending patent for ”trait analyzer” AI that will crawl & scrape the Internet to score its users. It will judge if you exhibit ”traits such as 'neuroticism and involvement in crimes' and 'narcissism, Machiavellianism, or psychopathy'”.

How does this group define privacy? Facebook and Google cares deeply about “privacy” but they are trying to twist the meaning of the word to something totally different. That is why I’m am curious what this group considers privacy to be.

I see Google is sabotaging Firefox users on Google Translate again
This damn company...
What do you think they're gonna achieve. I'm gonna open Chrome for 2 mins and then close it back again after I'm done.

Some of you might think this is good news. It isn’t.
It means we have at most two years before tracker blockers stop protecting you. We’re already limited in what we can do with 1st-party workarounds, CNAME cloaking, etc.
We must tackle the core problem: the business model. twitter.com/AFP/status/121…

Been trying to find information regarding this but haven’t been able to find it. All I’ve found is that if you grant an app permission to access the location from the background, Android won’t ask you about it again. Whereas iOS continuously do so.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from your link it seems like Android just added granular controls for location (always, when in use, deny) in Android 13? iOS had that since 2014 I believe...

Does it though? iOS 13 shows a pop up every 2(?) weeks to make sure that the user really wants the app to be able to access the location from the background. Couldn’t find any information on that in regards to android. Could you point me in the right direction?

Spotify’s ad tech will continue to expand, but it will only affect podcasts if you listen to them in Spotify.
Keep using independent podcast apps, and the surveillance abilities by large podcast publishers will remain extremely limited. twitter.com/NathanBLawrenc…
