> Instead, android shows that these changes are potentially more user hostile.

More than a decade using Android, and another decade using the then-free Internet before that, I have never thought that having more choice was ever, ever user-hostile.

The proposition is so delirious for anyone who lived the early phases of the Internet that it defies interpretation.

The early years of the internet might as well have been a totally separate system. How anyone can think that the modern internet is anything like the small implicitly trusting internet of yore compared to the globalized commercialized ad-tech megamall where every single avenue for abuse is taken and just called a business model instead of malware.

It wasnt a totally separate system. Getting scammed was easier than today because people had a lot of trust in everything.
