Anyway, OP can just inform their parents and fix this thing, if that was really the problem.
> Is Chrome really the best choice for them? Hard to know.
If you imagine this is a good argument for taking choice away from people, you are damaged. There is no freedom if you get to restrict people until they will make the choice you feel is perfect for them. Freedom means freedom to make mistakes. It's not like Chrome is explosive, and if handled incorrectly it may kill its user and some innocent bystanders to boot.
Really doubling down on the absurd arguments.
Isn't this basically what school is for children?
I don't think it's crazy that people might have a range of preferences for how "locked down" a device or ecosystem is. One end of the spectrum might be Linux phones and the other might be those Jitterbug (?) phones for old people that can only dial a few preset numbers. Android would be more towards Linux and Apple more towards Jitterbug.
But I do think Apple should be more transparent with their users, and has generally been "maliciously complying" with these regulations.
Yes, the little time we have in our lives, I really want to spend talking with my parents about topics like browser choices.
Have those discussions, educate them on choices, and it will make their lives much safer going forward.
People very often dont have a clue what things like app permissions are and just blindly accept them all. Aftrer educating and showing them, they are much more careful in checking what they are accepting.
Teach a person to fish is my motto, you should try it sometime! I dont see why that opinion deserves downvotes but there you go.
I have to explain on average once a month to family why some websites break on "the Apple internet app" (safari) and they should use Firefox or Chrome for critical stuff instead.
Had to explain again yesterday because Safari crashed to a white screen error on my wife's macbook while she was trying to buy plane tickets.
Firefox just worked.
Internet browsers are very present in 2024.
