    It cuts both ways. I’d never go to iOS because they prevent me from using my preferred web browser as part of vendor lock-in. Everything is heavily channelled through the Apple Store and ecosystem so they can take their cut.

    It depends what is most important to you. I prefer more freedom and control over my device.

        You can root your android device and gut almost all the Google taint. Hell, you can do a lot of that already without rooting with the f-droid marketplace and then download Karma Firewall to block any outgoing traffic for any app you choose.

      Do you mean your preferred browser, or preferred browser rendering engine? I’m fairly certain all of the major browsers are available on iOS, but they all have to use the built-in Webkit engine.
