A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Right, but some people do live in the EU.
I understand the argument is that it would be too much work to make the browser just for people that live in the EU, but building features that most people don't want to use seems to be their M.O, anyway.
And also, if people outside get jealous that they get to use genuine extensions in their browser, perhaps they could put pressure on apple to do the right thing. Open source is basically dead on ios, so it'd be great to see a bigger player try to do something about this.
