    That was always a bullshit move by Apple and crippled the Firefox product in an unacceptable and cartel law questionable dimension. MS had a Monopoly on IE, by giving advantages binding it to the OS? Apple did the exact same thing on iOS with Safari.

    Apple must allow under EU regulation, full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone.

    "This change is a result of the DMA’s requirements, and means that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them,” the company says. “The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage.”

    lol Apple is throwing a tantrum

    As soon as I get that visa, I’m running to the EU. I don’t feel like dealing with more freedom that only the EU can get, I don’t feel like being jealous at them anymore, I might as well join them.

      Come to the dark side! We have GDPR and we’ll get browser choice in iOS soon (because as much as I hate having my software freedom being taken away, iOS is the superior experience if you don’t have time to tweak everything. This is coming from someone who’s had a custom ROM on every single one of their Android phones).

      You also can’t be fired without cause in I believe most EU countries, definitely not in mine (Estonia).

        I have literally never used GDPR in my life because whenever my phone claims to use it (last time that happened was with my old iPhone 4), it basically means that there’s no internet at all. I’m pretty sure that’s just a weird thing with my country. We don’t even have 5G yet.

        Also, wait, you can actually get fired without cause outside of the EU? Why would anyone have the balls to do that??
