God I’m glad Apple exists

Apple is worse; MacOS is slowly becoming the locked-down hellscape of iOS. If Apple had its way with MacOS, not only would you not be able to uninstall their browser, but you also wouldn’t be allowed to install any alternative browsers.
Safari never bugs me like this.

macOS (and iOS) don’t have ads or bloatware. They are totally different from windows. Not perfect, but way better.

I beg to differ. I get prompted on iOS to upgrade my iCloud storage regularly, thanks in part to the completely nonsensical way that you manage storing messages in iOS. There is no way to disable this behavior.

And on macOS, every time I press “play” on my wireless headphones when no media is playing, Apple Music opens and prompts me to subscribe.

It's a different product because it's coupled with the hardware.
