    It’s 2023 and we’re still doing this? It’s pretty obvious neither is objectively better, stop being so loyal to companies and their products.

      This is kind of sad because it didn’t used to be the case because Android was miles ahead of iOS back in the day, likely because its development was driven by a healthy mix of many OEMs and the FOSS community.

      Now its just a java version of Google’s copy of iOS that just so happens to run on the linux kernel.

      They keep each other entertained though, it’s fun watching brand lovers go at each other.

        Corporate bootlickers are the worst. I don’t even find them funny just irritating and sad.

              Honey, that’s still android. That’s like using Edge and saying you’re not using Chrome. Yeah, you are. It’s supporting google’s evil control over an industry by using code from AOSP. Still, you’ll get points in my book for being de-Googled as much as one can be while still using Android.

                Haha jokes on you, I lied. I’m not using LineageOS. I’m posting from a Google Chrome web browser on my Chromebook running ChromeOS. I don’t even know what LineageOS is, I just Googled it. Maybe I’ll switch to it after watching a YouTube tutorial on it, but for now my phone is just a rock and a string that I stare at for 3 hours a day ☺️ because I refuse to use Android

                    The Rock™ is a smartphone manufactured by Dwayne Technologies. It has a unique cooking feature that allows users to smell it when looking for it. Which is much better than its competitor by Cena Phones which is literally impossible to find.

                Edge and Chrome are both closed source and owned by companies, so your comparison is just not valid. Using AOSP is certainly not supporting Google’s monopoly: AOSP is totally open source, was bought by Google a long time ago and they don’t own it due to its license (aside from the name maybe). Meaning you can still flash Android on a system without paying or using Google’s services or products.

                It’s like saying you contribute to Google’s monopoly because you use Linux and Google (also) used it in its Chromebooks.

                  Chromium is open source. Edge uses chromium. That’s how Google controls the direction of the internet. Chromium is evil and everything that uses it is supporting evil. Your comparisons are ridiculous. Linux doens’t need Android, lmfao. Tell me more about how you know very little.

                    Chromium doesn’t need Chrome to exist either: it’s a separate project and if Google doesn’t want to support it anymore, someone can easily fork it to continue having Chromium-based browsers. That’s the property of open source: anybody can inspect and fork it.
