That’s the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

Just disable the ads, crypto and telemetry and suddenly none of those things are a problem anymore, just like Firefox.

The options on Android aren’t much better

Literally every one of them is better, because none of them are running iOS. That’s my subjective opinion.

unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Samsung and Google both support devices for 5 years now. Doesn’t matter how long Apple “supports” the software because they don’t support the hardware.

Why not both?

I think in reality the Chrome web browser is a huge threat to Internet freedom and should be a top priority.

Mastodon currently comprises about 90% of Fediverse users so I’ll have to disagree on that one.

I mean we’re still a long long way from reaching mainstream status.
