The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.

I also prefer Lightning. The central pin of USB-C being in the device's port rather than the charger seems like a bad idea to me. Lightning is the opposite.

An average consumer probably gets a new phone every 1-2 years. That means 50-100g of junk plastic every year per person.

This seems very small compared to the amount of non-recyclable plastic I get every time I go to the supermarket (Fruit and veg in plastic wrapping).

Are USB cables very resource heavy to make? Is there something that makes them especially bad when compared to other waste?

Thank you for this!

Slightly off topic but: Why is Microsoft not included in this acronym (FAANG)? Surely they're a more significant company than Netflix?
