Banks are especially bad. I know one bank that has you memorize 7 digits access codes and for authentication asks 4 digits at random places each time.

T-shirts are the easiest thing to fold. The real nightmare is the wife's pile of clothes. Every piece of clothing is unique and different in shape and size. Some of them I wouldn't even know how to wear let alone fold

Exactly, this is marketing talk. Pixel is secure, get regular updates, lesser target than iphone and in terms of privacy can be "hardened" just by going over the Google services setting menu and opting out of everything. Rest can be achieved by using Firefox (which actually runs on Android not like FF on iOS which is a shell) with ad blockers and choosing a different search engine.

I would argue it's much more secure and more private this way

I don't buy into this narrative. I have a Pixel phone, you can do quite a lot of privacy "hardening" just by going over the Google settings and turning off a lot of tracking (which they were probably forced to put in by regulators). The rest you can achieve by using Firefox instead of Chrome and choose a different search engine.

I get a lot of hard to solve Google CAPTCHA on many websites I visit so I know Google is having a hard time tracking me :-)

In terms of security, I don't think Pixel is less secure than the iPhone. It gets security updates regularly, Google invests a lot in security and I don't think the Pixel has more zero days than the iPhone...

So all in all, I don't buy into the "iPhone is more secure and handles your privacy better than Android" narrative

Any reason why these tools usually don't support windows ? Is it harder on Windows ?

Two ways of looking at it. I guess what the OP is saying is that if there was an agreed upon standard for semantically understanding these pages without having to use these sophisticated methods, it would be much easier

In that case, good for the EU, just another form of tax collection.

What work have they done differently than Android / Google that brings the higher paying users to the platform ?

I am not sure you could find a clear line between the work they've done and the outcome of having high paying customers

Honest question, if all communication is E2E encrypted (it's not, but let's assume), what's the risk of foreign countries controlling the infra ?
