Totally agree. I don't believe Apple either. But google is getting too aggressive and annoying. Google's 90% of revenue comes from advertising. That means the better they track you the more they will earn with targeted ads. On the other side Apple's revenue relies on mostly iPhone sales. Moreover, Apple started a war against tracking with 3rd party cookies. Which is a very smart move, gaining customer trust and hit the Google on it's self playground.

I absolutely agree. They're exerting power the way Microsoft did in the 90s. The latest "feature" of Gmail on Android, where it opens links in a Gmail Browser instead of your default browser, is Microsoft level shit and has me looking for an alternative.
