Thanks for the reminder. I've switched to Firefox on my mac and iphone for personal use. I just need to move some web development stuff around so I can switch to Firefox on that too. I may even uninstall google chrome, but for now I've just taken it off the task bar.
Correct me if I am wrong but arent Apple based browsers all modifications of WebKit/Safari?
Or is it a iOS/iPad OS specific thing and MacOS is actually free from those restrictions by being able to sideload.
That's exclusive to iOS/iPad OS. There aren't any such restrictions on macOS.
Neat to know. Thank you :)
MacOS is actually much more open than most people think. There’s a lot of protections for the average user but if you know what you’re doing it can all be bypassed.
