      What’s killing my Web experience on my phone isn’t the lack of the newest fancy APIs but all the ads and tracking that is literally everywhere. Google is the spearheading leader of targeted ads and I resent them way more than Apple lagging behind in terms of features.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1191027005342404608 …

      If you're a web developer, this means that iOS -- the whole OS -- is the new IE6. Your CEO and wealthiest users won't switch off it, so it taxes everything you do. They also can't imagine the web being great because, for them, it isn't.

      Then you should be worried that Mozilla and Brave and others can't implement what they think is best for privacy and security on iOS.

          Sure. And Google could also stop being such a shitty company centered around getting as much data as it can on everyone, pushing the entire industry to vomit targeted ads all over my screen. A Web lagging behind doesn’t pollute my screen.

          There is a clear argument for the platform provider being responsible for privacy and security. Reducing third-party rendering engines has benefits. I’d trust Apple on privacy over any ad-funded company.

          So uh, when i think of something to combat ads and tracking i think of Opera's url blocker, a feature that was REALLY concerned with user power and not just a lying fig leaf. How would privacy and security features do this better?

          (I feel with a lot of your tweets, that app store restriction is dystopian, and yes, the apple devs are roughly in the position of slaves thanks to america having one of the worst implementations of capitalism and being a shitstain on the world. I just don't get that tech point.)

          Well, considering most websites are run by companies with a massive hard-on for ads/tracking/3rd party ad networks that track back like biblical genealogies, we should be focusing on WHY people use blockers at all - aka websites crossed the line and hampered the user experience.

          But specifically, tech (aka APIs and frameworks) are usually never the problem. It's all of the other things bolted on a website that cause slow web pages. Meanwhile, why do Apple and Google keep such rules aside from stacking the deck? Guarantee if it didn't, that'd change!
