To add to this, the only redeeming quality of Android is that the Google Play Store developer account currently only costs a $25 one time fee, meanwhile the Apple App Store costs $99 per year. Google also seems a bit more permissive with its apps. You can still use an adblocker extension when you download firefox, even torrent clients are there. Apple doesn't really allow alternative browsers, every browser is just Safari reskinned, no extensions, absolutely zero usable torrent clients whatsoever. And, there aren't really any Tor browsers on iOS (probably because of the same reason why iOS browsers have no extensions), those that do exist seem very badly built, not officially made by the Tor Project, and some even require you to pay for it (which make sense given the $99 yearly fee).
But you know, its capitalism and the current pricing could soon change... ๐
(Edited phrasing for claification)
While you're not wrong there for the best part: Safari does allow extensions, and has done for a few years now. Functionally, I've not noticed much of a difference between Safari and IronFox on my GOS phone.
Capitalism is never going away unless people build a system to redistribute wealth and so far they're doing the opposite lately.
I mean that the pricing of the dev account could soon change because of the fact that we live under a capitalist society, not saying that capitalism is itself is going away.
Oh, lol, sorry. My bad.
