I don’t disagree, it’s more of a matter of least evil.

But Chrome is already just Chromium with some binary blobs. Chromium itself even has sync and Google services at this point.

Besides, what would that change in regards to who develops it?

Of those companies, Apple seems like the best option due to their business goals (privacy). Though I am not fully sure why they’d want to as they already have a browser with a relative market share dominance and ecosystem.

Realistically, it would make sense to see Microsoft try again, it would instantly get 70% of the world to use “Edge”, so their goals are met. Chrome already has the modern web standards, so it might just mean slower progression of the web in the future.

As long as they are doing the browser work independently from Google (meaning no Google integration), doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Kind of like they already present their work (Chromium and Chrome)

Well, it was about compatibility years ago, too. But when they did the Fenix project, I remember initially only about 5 extensions were available to install, even if they could’ve allowed more with the APIs available back then. Then it took years again to get access to the full store of extensions.

Edit: also, where did themes go? It isn’t that hard to overlay a horizontal image on the toolbar like before.

And yet they introduced nonsense restrictions on them after overhauling the interface few years ago.

As long as the brand new one is legally binding, why not. And it is at least in California.

Are there any checker apps to see which of user’s installed apps have this? Looking up “Play Integrity API” only finds the checkers for the phone itself…

The problem with Language Transfer is its very limited language selection and its format.

Duolingo allows reading, writing, listening and speech (last two can be disabled if unsuitable in your context), and it does not impose daily limits. I’ve yet to find an alternative app that does all 5 of those things.

Though that does not equal to interest by the devs who create ROMs and other such content.

Maybe less of a concern since Treble but a concern nonetheless.
