Eric Maugendre about data

It has already been possible to change an #iPhone's default web browser through the "Settings" app since iOS 14.

#Apple has a March 6 legal deadline to introduce app sideloading in the European Union in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act #DMA, and iOS 17.4 will add support for this. #Sideloading will allow Apple users to download apps outside of the App Store, but the change will be limited to customers in the EU.

Now is an opportunity to improve your web experience… and your safety…

The practice is called #compartmentalisation.

@maugendre I also have at least five browsers open and the "work" is spread across them, actually also one as a dev browser, one a work browser, one a "private" browser, etc.
Though originally I had started it so I could test all browsers easily.
