   I think the free market does work in this case, if you want alternative browser you can install Android.

     @why I don't think there's inherently anything wrong with being a locked platform unless you're so market dominant that nobody can seriously compete.

     @Moon @Relected you can already sideload 3 apps for 7 days without a developer account. with a developer account (its like $100/y or something) you get way more apps for 365 days. there are things like altstore+altserver which make installing and refreshing less of a hassle. people make ad-free versions of the ios youtube/twitch/twitter/etc apps that you can install and run on a normal non jailbroken iphone. this isn't a loophole, and not against TOS.

     @why @Relected I guess if you're used to sideloading on android this isn't unacceptably worse, except for the 100usd/yr part.

     @Moon @Relected This is the reason you can't install extensions on the Apple App Store "edition" of Firefox
     
     even Firefox for Android added extensions a while back
     (*they cucked anyone using the stable release of the app with an extension whitelist that can't be overridden through any setting, but at least uBlock Origin is on that whitelist, so everything's kinda livable)
