      I get that it isn't possible to confound pro-my-big-co narratives at every SV firm, but I'm not constrained by those contours and wouldn't work at Google if I were.

      It's literally what has made it possible to work here -- I get to advocate for what's right for users.

      You will, of course, be TOTALLY SHOCKED to find out which SV firms totally fuck over the web platform *and* subvert user choice of browser to bolster their behavioral profiling portfolios. Film at 11.

      I suspect we’ve all seen some things that are difficult to discuss publicly, but are truly, truly awful.

      And to be clear — I’d stay up until 11 to watch this film. People wonder why Safari View Controller doesn’t share cookies and other website data with Safari anymore. It certainly wasn’t an arbitrary decision, and it wasn’t made lightly.

      I've always wondered about this decision. Among other things it makes it increases frustration level for people who pay to subscribe to their favorite news sites at a time when they're already climbing uphill. Is there any context on why?

      I'd be curious as well. I think it is because of the 1p login APIs that are unique to SafariViewController that make it more than a simpler browser. If that is the case, it would be highly valuable to provide version of SVC that doesn't have this API that apps can opt into

      This is the API I'm referring to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfauthenticationsession …

      Apps can also just open Safari, so if SVC was nothing *more* than Safari it would make no sense to separate storage.

      I see multiple legitimate locations on the mutual mistrust scale here. But WebViews for in-app-browsing are a serious, intentional choice that firms should have to defend.

      WebView-loading of third-party content in something that doesn't register itself as a browser (intent handler for all navigation intents, in Android-speak) is "you broke it, you bought it" territory. You're subverting the OS contract w/ the user's default browser.
