In my opinion, it's not ignorance but fear and anxiety. When you have too much information, even conflicting, the human brain rejects all.
It's like when you watch an ad for an insect repellent: if they show you all those disgusting insects, the ad disgusts you so much that you avoid the product. It's a phenomenon known in psychology.
Yes, but not every content needs to use these "tricks," I mean that if a news story just came out, it uses a hashtag related to the news, if a conspiracy theory comes out, is not a news but it must find a way to become popular, and the study reveals that they use hashtags and humor.
> While iOS's remote tab in-app browser (SFSafariViewController) prevents the app injecting JavaScript, it is locked to Safari (or more specifically the WkWebView) and thus overrides the user's choice of default browser.
They are complaining that the in-app browser does not allow user customization if I understood correctly.
That seems like a present, but minor issue. The important thing is security/privacy to me, which is less strong on Android if I understand correctly.
I think you are missing the point. If you transfer from an app to a web page, most people will assume they are in their browser of choice. If an app implements its own browser you are not, and have no idea what security you may or may not have, and may continue to use the browser for other stuff. It is a genuine concern for any platform.
I assume the apps track how long you're in the browser, what URLs you open (does the in-app webview forward the URL requests through the app?), I don't know if it can detect how far along you're scrolling in the webview, if it can, then it knows what parts of the webpage has your attention...
It's no wonder most social media apps use in-app browsers.
On macOS you have to add another service in background and i don’t like it, on iOS and iPadOS you have to use their app and I want to use Mail by Apple.
