Ah, I see a comment with downvotes here and I know it’s a rational one I should be paying attention to.

Things work, but they feel entitled to forcing Apple to dedicate their resources to offering the same experience to people who don’t do business with Apple.

Forcing a business to operate better with another competitor for no benefit of their own is a dangerous precedent to set.

But does it work? Can you, as an Android user, send text messages to and from people with iPhones?

Look at this comment with -20 downvotes and tell me this place isn’t an echo chamber filled with one way to think.

I’ll take Reddit’s shitty practices over this place’s community.

Don’t feel bad about the downvotes, normal people understand how this should have never happened in the first place but terminally online nerds will defend Mozilla to their dying breath.

And the fact this wasn’t caught sooner means Mozilla doesn’t do any due diligence and aren’t to be trusted being a privacy-focused business.

Look at how downvoted you are for stating this simple fact. Lemmy is a fucking dumpster fire.

Is it so hard to understand that people feel burned by a paid-for service that promised better privacy actually selling out your info because Mozilla didn’t do the bare basic due diligence?

Breaking up before or after they were doing business with OneRep? Because they should have caught this before any of their customers ever paid for it.

What did I fail to understand? That Mozilla didn’t do their due diligence and went into business with this person and only dropped them after damage to their customers was already done?

Let me be clear for your simple mind: Mozilla would have caught this if they looked into their business partners, but they failed to do that. So they lost my trust.

looking for the best product

And the best browser right now is Arc, which just opened up their Windows Beta to the public.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Lemmy is a dumpster fire filled with terminally online nerds living in their mom’s basement. It’s even worse than Reddit.

Like Mozilla offered a paid service designed to protect your privacy that just made your privacy worse than if you did nothing at all, and these NEETs want you to think it’s okay because they fired the company after the damage was already done.

And you’ll get mass downvotes for saying that’s a shitty thing to do.

Yes, and they never should have been in that position to begin with. Mozilla’s extreme lack of due diligence has lost my trust for every other service they offer. Is that so hard to understand? Or is your head so far up Mozilla’s ass that you can’t see the obvious?

Stealing is bad but don’t expect Reddit outcasts to be supportive of this simple concept.

Yep, built on Chromium.

But it’s okay, I kinda like the downvote game here and pissing off the extremists who baby raged on over after Reddit’s API change.

Arc is the first company actually innovating in the browser space in two decades and I’ll happily accept that work being done on top of an open-source base that Google doesn’t control that much.

You think you want this, but you really don’t. If Apple is gone then Android is all that exists and THAT IS A REAL MONOPOLY.

Nothing is stopping people from downloading whatever chat app they want to use. EU has done that.

Am I? For ditching a product that sold out my personal info by using a paid-for service designed to protect my privacy?

I gave Mozilla their chance and they pulled this shit.

So a law designed to force more competitive app stores actually results in negative consequences for users?

Good job EU, don’t go all shocked pikachu on us now.

Good news is that Arc for Windows is coming out of open beta soon. Finally time for me to ditch Firefox.

But you don’t understand. It’s Apple’s responsibility to make iMessage work across all platforms instead of users making informed decisions and using WhatsApp/FacebookMessenger/Whatever nth version of chat app Google is offering. /s

Bunch toddlers demanding equal playtime with a toy they don’t own and then ranting to their mom, who instead of buying the toy for their kid, sues the neighbor to force them to let their kid play with the toy.

What existing rules? The rules designed for 19th/20th century oil companies that don’t apply to modern tech companies?

New rules are being written.

Apple could play in the game with a different set of rules

They’re playing a different game because they’re the ones who built the ballpark they’re playing in. Don’t like the game? Don’t go to the ballpark.

It’s so exhausting how you people simply can’t accept “don’t buy Apple” and leave it alone.
