looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i’m sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

    I think Apples philosophy is that for everything you normally do on your iPhone you use an app. The browser is only for exceptions, and that’s reflected in the care they put in it.

    I don’t know why you hate the keyboard. It works just fine with a multitude of features for me, for which I’d install two or three different keyboards on my Android devices. Why on earth you would want to install a 3rd party keyboard of all things is beyond me. That’s the thing where you type in all your passwords.

      If you aren’t native English speaker and therefore use a different keyboard layout than US, pretty much all features disappear on iOS. The keyboard is garbage compared to Android’s native keyboard and for some reason even after 3 years of iPhone ownership I still write more typos on the iPhone than I ever did on Android phones.

      I wish I could use some 3rd party keyboard, but because Jobs decided in the past that Apple’s keyboard is the only thing users ever really need, I can’t. There is a limited support for custom keyboards but in practice the user experience is garbage.

      Then you are doing it wrong. I have one keyboard, Gboard, and everything about it is superior to the Apple keyboard.

      That’s but to say Gboard is good, is not… It’s crap. But Apple keyboard says “Hold my beer” and shows just how bad a keyboard can be when you really try.

      The IOS keyboard is absolutely awful. The fact that you think it’s good tells me you’ve never used a different keyboard.
