    IDK if Firefox is better or worse to use, I just know I don’t want to use a Google browser. So I use Firefox, like on my desktop.

      That’s largely because the companies want to grab all of your telemetry data, which they can’t do in a browser. Putting it in an app allows them to gather whatever info they want, instead of being siloed inside of a browser.

    Maybe, maybe not – but I’m discounting anything the UK government says on Internet-related issues, so long as they’re trying to insert encryption backdoors into everything. For all we know, this is just an attempt to blackmail Apple and Google over the encryption thing.

      Please learn some facts about how the CMA operates before discounting it.

      The CMA is independent from the government - it does not have a minister calling the shots.

      The encryption stuff is coming from the Home Office, which is directly government controlled.

      The CMA and the Home Office aren’t working together at all - they don’t even share an office.

      This is not “the government” saying this. It’s the independent competition and markets regulator known as the CMA which, whilst publicly funded, isn’t run by the government.
