Fresh off the news that Google search is a monopoly, they are now using their iOS browser to add links to Google Search on any website visited.

    Eww…

    You’d think they wouldn’t try this given the western world’s governments all deciding they engage in monopolistic, anti competitive behaviour. But obviously they don’t care.

    Kinda have to wonder if that has something to do with a certain recent election 🤷‍♂️

    Is it bad that I don’t mind this? Like, if you don’t like it, use safari.
