iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones (m.gsmarena.com)

I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

My sarcasm detector isn’t going off, so I’ll bite.

A small market?! 450 million afluent consumers not enough for you?

What's the market here? People don't pay for browsers and the way it's monetized is via ads... which is problematic in the EU thanks to GDPR. So here this would mean a free browser without being able to use ads.

I personally do want it, and would pay for it, but I'm rather convinced the other 450 millions (which clearly don't all have iPhones) are not.
