- 63% of browsing is done on mobile. Having a dominant position on the desktop doesn’t mean much.

If people cared about privacy, they wouldn’t be using Facebook of anything Google made.

Except both of those companies still track your activity across the web, with or without an account... In order to care about privacy, a user has to do a hell of a lot more than just not use any of these invasive services.

The other half of the equation is an ad blocker....

iOS has a built in content blocking framework that other developers can plug into

The content blockers submit rules to iOS that Safari uses - the ad blocker doesn’t have access to your browsing history.

What % of that is Chrome vs Safari? On Androids Microsoft could cut a deal with Samsung to ship CEdge.

It depends on the country.

In the US, iOS has more market share - it surprised me too. iOS market share is relatively high in more affluent countries.
