The key to what? If you want to have a search box that doesn’t need some setup wizard, then you have to pick a default.

And I think a typical user, generally, would expect that a browser saves history and so on by default. People like AutoFill!

I’m not sure how much more of an opt-in you could make it than a button you have to click to turn it on.

Using the cameras to estimate depth information is not really a better solution than using the LiDAR sensor because the cameras are so close together that the effective range for parallax depth estimation and the effective range of the LiDAR sensor are very similar.

In addition to the third-party installation capability mentioned by siblings, Japan also has a regional capability for reassigning the side button to a third-party voice assistant (`com.apple.developer.side-button-access.allow`).

The only thing Safari seems inferior at is draining batteries.

If you’re trying to quantify fun, you’ve already well and truly missed the point.
