Oh my goodness that would be amazing. I’ll drop safari in an instant.
- Unfortunatly, this will not be the case on iOS as Apple doesn't allow third-party browser engines and stores
  
  The EU is working on opening that up at least so there is a light at the end of the tunnel for those users
  
  Bummer.
  I might get me a damn android.
  I’m just buried in their ecosystem. Gah. I’ve been using apple computers and phones since I was a kid. I started on the Quadra 650.
  My last mac (which I still use for music recording) was a 2012 Mac Pro. I’ve pretty much gone all in on the phones these days with a Steam Deck as my primary computer but definitely my secondary device.
  I have photos on iCloud going back to about 2014 when I stopped jailbreaking my phones. Moving all of that would be no fun at all. Getting used to a new OS wouldn’t be any fun either. I hate doing anything on my uncle’s Samsung.
  I really wish there was a third alternative. A good Linux distro centered around phones or something.
  
  I’m an iPhone man, but if weren’t I would be using Google Pixels.
  It’s the most polished Android experience I’ve seen so far, and you can do literally whatever you want with them as they have unlockable boot loaders.
  
  I also used iPhones for a long time until I had to switch to a temporary phone due to age-related hardware malfunction. Out of curiosity, I tried /e/ OS and was very pleasantly surprised.
  The temporary phone is now in use for at least a year and I also get to enjoy other extraordinary features like USB-C and a headphone-jack. In the future, I may also give LineageOS a try.
