The arguments they're making are a mix between nonsensical and absurd to me. The only vaguely legitimate point they make is that some users have experienced worse browsing experiences (because it's beta software/because some websites don't play nicely with VPNs), but then say that this is intended to push users away from using Safari?

And are they seriously arguing they could build a viable competitor to mobile browsers if only they have access to all our browsing data? Personally I was leaving it off until it was out of beta, but this just convinced me to turn it on

While this complaint is definitely them throwing every single dart at the board, the note that Private Relay reduces the government’s ability to monitor internet use is at least legitimate.

That's fair, although there are so many other products available that do the same thing, run by organisations much less cooperative with governments. Perhaps the scale of a company like Apple providing it changes the equation, but it still strikes me as scare-mongering, however I am of the opinion that the government shouldn't have the ability to passively monitor individual internet use so that probably makes me biased
