Huh. I used it pretty much since the start and I certainly don't recall it being that bad? Like you got a lot of relevant content up front usually.

All we want is 1990s Google, guys. That's really all we want. None of this AI BS that kind find a country in Africa that starts with a K, just Google without the evil enshitification layer on top.
Browsers love it!
Practically anything you write will execute without all that scope and well formed statements nonsense.
Mind you, number 2 is also its biggest flaw as well, but…
True, just observing that it's happening much faster now than it did for the preceding iteration of Windows.
The enshitification of Windows compared to macOS has really accelerated a lot recently it seems. I work with both daily and it is weird and irritating how much extra crap keeps getting hurled willy-nilly into Windows updates this last year.
That’s how you know the privacy protections are working. Meta won’t let you in if they can’t identify you well enough to sell your data.
So obviously not to everyone's taste but if you have access to iCloud+ email, your mail isn’t scanned for sale (as per their US privacy agreement anyway), you get randomized email addresses available to give to places that you think might be spammy and you can link a domain to your account, although you’re only allowed 3 email boxes per user in your family per domain. Works well for me so far. Mind you because of photo storage size and devices backups I’m up to $3/ month from the original $1/month when I started.
Plus with Advanced Data Protection a lot of iCloud info is E2E encrypted. (Not email tho.)
Someone still had faith in Google???
I think iMessage and whatever Google had at the time were "good enough" here that WhatsApp never caught on? Like most people already had unlimited texting by the time it hit the scene, so It just felt like a scam back in the day and I remember it wanted my phone number to complete a sign-up and I was damned if I was going to give it to them.
Weird! That's what I'm on too and I'm getting a giant menu through the middle of the article. 🤔
EDIT: And now it works again. Must have been a temporary glitch, although I force-reloaded it a couple of times even…
~~That website is completely borked. On Firefox, of all things.~~ Temporary glitch? Working now.
I saw the Marques Brownlee review of this and I have no idea why they actually released it to market? It looked so wildly undercooked.
