I missed this from last week, but WOW: Onion Browser (https://onionbrowser.com/) is one of the browser choices in the new "choose your default browser" screen that will be shown to iOS users in the EU: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/26/apple-explains-ios-17-4-default-browsers-eu/ (It's popular enough in each country!)

Huge thanks and props to everyone who's collaborated on / supported the project over the years! @n8fr8 @tla @guardianproject @torproject

@figbash @n8fr8 @tla @torproject Unsure where this list is sourced from, but: https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/26/apple-shares-more-details-about-the-new-default-web-browser-prompt-in-ios-17-4/ The official definition is that the list is the top 12 browser apps*, based on App Store statistics in the given country.

It's also WILD that a browser with Tor built-in will be presented as a setup option on a major OS. @n8fr8 @tla @guardianproject @torproject

@oliverherold @n8fr8 @tla @guardianproject @torproject Apparently the list is the top 12 browser apps*, based on App Store statistics in each country (which certainly favors apps that are free to download, unlike iCab); I found this article which shows each country's list here: https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/26/apple-shares-more-details-about-the-new-default-web-browser-prompt-in-ios-17-4/

(* browser apps that have set up the "default browser entitlement" so that they can be configured as a system default browser https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/preparing-your-app-to-be-the-default-browser )

So proud! My work is going to be listed in front of every citizen's face who owns an iPhone, soon!

Apparently Onion Browser for iOS (https://onionbrowser.com/) is popular enough to be on the new "browser ballot" screen that EU iOS users will be presented with to choose their default browser:

"Signal is Expensive”, from CEO @Mer__edith, is very good. The transparency around infrastructure costs had me hooked from the start, but the ways they've rearchitected ubiquitous features (profile pictures, GIF sharing, finding contacts) to protect user privacy, that’s really stunning.

Example: I had absolutely no optimism that anyone implemented contact discovery without, uh, storing all my contacts. And here Signal has been doing it all along?

This should be the norm. An OS-level feature, even. Tremendous dedication by the Signal team.

Thrilled to see Meta officially launching e2ee for 1:1 chats in FB + Insta, and using the Signal protocol to do it!

Congratulations to all involved! This is a significant achievement and a rare win for privacy, (from a very unlikely place, I know!)❤️ 1/

Meta is launching end-to-end encryption for direct messages on Facebook Messenger and Instagram this week. https://www.wsj.com/tech/meta-to-start-fully-encrypting-messages-on-facebook-and-instagram-a936c4f9

matthew_d_green,

I got a chance to play with the new Messenger a little while ago, and it’s remarkable for… basically not being remarkable. It looks exactly like the existing Messenger, but everything is protected using Signal protocol. Supports web and mobile, and just kind of works invisibly.

The 1.42 app releases are rolling into the stores, providing a major security upgrade that was long in the brewing and testing: guaranteed end-to-end encryption, protecting against compromised servers or networks (MITM attacks). The releases also enable multi-device synchronization of pinned/accepted/blocked/muted chat states, a new global gallery for desktop and many bug fixes and little improvements .... https://delta.chat/en/2023-11-23-jumbo-42

At some point, the search results in the Apple App Store stopped correlating with the search terms for certain apps. I believe that’s what @pluralistic means by “enshittification.”

It blows me away that I can type in a search term, and the App Store recognizes it, and even auto-completes it for me, but then shows me dozens or hundreds of apps that don’t match my term. 🤔

angusm,
@angusm@mastodon.social avatar

@mibwright @pluralistic Technically, this is not ‘enshittification’.

It is Enshittification as a Service (EaaS), because Apple (and Amazon, who do it too) are offering your degraded search experience as a service to their paying customers (*)

(*) Yes, you’re a paying customer too, but you can’t pay to have your experience not degraded. Yet.

In case you are wondering how usage of AI and consent is going, I just was in a 12 person working group meeting where 4 people who were not there had "AI" transcription/note-taking services join without any sort of warning beforehand.
