Why not? They fill the same niche functionally.

As a reminder that was in fact not the comment I replied to.

But they're only default on their respective devices right?

The Samsung galaxy store comes pre-installed on Samsung phones, I haven't heard of it being pre-installed on non-samsung phones.

So what you're saying is that two of them are installed by default on some phones, but not all of them? Because the comment they replied to was talking about app stores being installed by default, so I'm asking if all those app stores are all installed by default. Because it seems like only some of them sometimes get installed by default on some phones.

Because most alternatives aren't nearly as functional due to them dominating the market.

On Firefox it's an infinity symbol.

If they make it in any way removable no matter which end its on then other people will be able to figure out how to remove it too.

Sponsorblock only works on specific, known timed segments.

That's not true though, sponsorblock is user reported, that's why it works for sponsor segments and in-video ads of all lengths and locations in videos. If ads get baked into a video they can't be taken out or changed, since that's what getting "baked in" means in this context, and as soon as a single user reports the ad it will be blocked by sponsorblock for anyone who uses it. If it can be taken out or changed, then it's not truly baked in and that can be exploited.

"against all odds" lmao what. Anyone who's been paying attention since the dawn of the internet would know that youtube isn't winning this one. The odds were 100% in the favour of the hackers.

I imagine it's utilized in more "serious" investigations and they just can't be arsed for theft.
