Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

      Google is an advertising company. Apple is a hardware/software company. They have very different incentives from one another. Neither are my friend, but one’s entire business model runs on psychological manipulation, the other sells iPhones.

        I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Apple uses a ton of psychological manipulation in order to sell those phones.

        I like that even if Google does something I don’t like I can install my own launcher. Or buy a different device, apple is apple and you better be happy with what they want you to want.

          The out-of-box defaults says a lot about how a company views you.

          Replacing a launcher only goes so far when blocking shenanigans.

      I wish Kodi had a more intuitive UI and support for Netflix, etc. We need an option powered by the people, for the people.
