- Yeah, hate that Google walled garden. Much better to go with Apple.

- Yeah, that gmail specific stuff is evil, except it isn't gmail specific at all.

- Yeah, killing browsers with Chrome. Just like IE6 except it's open source, cross-platform, evergreen, and pushes standards forward rather then trying to subvert them. The biggest problem now is others like MS using their browser engine is reducing diversity, but I guess that's their fault for making it open source. evil!

- And yeah, they have now officially destroyed VSCode (which includes lots of closed source MS stuff) by releasing a closed source extension.

These arguments don’t invalidate OP’s critique of Google’s positions though.

Your only two options on mobile are Apple & Google and he is calling out Google (in fairly extreme terms) on a point where they are easily the better of the two.

It shows what a silly contortion he was going through to tell us to hate Google.

For a lot of people, it is.

I trust Apple not to sell my data. And I'm willing to pay the hardware markup for that.

The issue was OP's anger (to put it mildly) that Google was creating a walled garden.

Are you joking or serious? You stated you were a Google employee before.

I don't use Facebook at all. They are just as bad as Google.
