Didn’t someone say that last quarter. 

I’ve mentioned this before,  but I believe these end of the year M2 upgrades with little else are to get ahead of a major release. The M2 will support Apple’s AR/VR technology in ways they have not yet revealed. For mass appeal, the VR headset Apple is rumored to reveal in January like the first iPhone will need to be compatible with a wide selection of Apple devices.

Easier solution, grab the icon for this steaming pile of shit drag it to your trash bin.

Problem solved!

But it’s the world’s most popular browser. So much for the public caring about privacy and security. They don’t.

They would care if the had any idea. Google owns search and most news organizations depend on google for online ads income. Consumers will never have a clue. Google has wooed the IT departments of many companies into fully supporting only Chrome. So, 1 they have no choice and then they have no idea how horrible it is. 

Looks like Apple doesn't care either, considering the deal they have of making Google Search the default engine in Apple devices.  So maybe Google is not as bad as you think, or Apple doesn't care and choose to do business with them and share their customers with a company that had privacy issues.

I guess it depends on the perception. Google is the default because consumers prefer it and it was a part of the original iPhone. It hasn’t been the default on my iphone, iPads,  or Macs in years. I use DuckDuckGo as my default which Apple transfers with each upgrade. Privacy as the default is less of a concern when Apple owns the access via Private APIs. Records from previous cases revealed that Google has never been satisfied with the limited data Apple released to them. It’s one of the reasons Google was willing to screw Apple with Maps on the IPhone by withholding features like turn by turn navigation. So Apple is likely protecting consumers from Google abuses and they have no idea. If Apple made a less popular browser the default, consumers would access it via a browser allowing Google far more access to data and the opportunity to attempt to circumvent the mechanisms in in place to prevent tracking like they have been found and fined for doing more than once. 

Notice how tempered this article is. 7 zero-day exploits in one year. Never heard about the others. This would be front page news if it were apple.
