The title, "Apple agrees to Russia laws requiring preinstalled software" doesn't match the content:

"Under the agreement, iPhones and iPads activated from April 1 onward will present a new screen to users, offering a selection of applications produced by Russian developers. Users will be able to select which apps they will allow or refuse to be installed via this screen as part of the set-up process."

There is nothing preinstalled, if the body/content is correct.  Just an offer to install apps, which the user can refuse.

Ridiculous! And where’s the antitrust investigation for sign-in with Google, Facebook, etc.?

To clarify, this doesn't mean that there is an antitrust violation here, only that your post is devoid of any coherent thought. 

Uhhh....  YOU ARE WRONG!

Firefox fills my RAM and starts writing to disk after several minutes. I keep it around because I can’t log into eBay in Safari on macOS or iOS. 

Ebay works fine on all of my Macs and Apple mobile devices (iPhone & iPad).  Must be something going on with your system.
