  • Imo builtin AdBlockers is much worse than addons. You have no free choice, have to trust that the devs will provide updates regularly and accurately (in contrast to just switching to another AdBlocker when eg. uBlock breaks), and are fucked once they decide it’s too much work/Google pays them a nice sum to not block them/they decide to just replace the ads instead of removing them.

    Addons on iOS, just as on Android, are very much needed and an actual solution to a whole plethora of problems, that no browser on its own could ever solve.


  • Throwing away effective tools and replacing them with generic LLMs, because of hype. Eg. throwing away physical customer support and replacing people with a chatbot.
    Not using (online) dictionaries but asking an LLM for every word.
    Using LLMs to parse static stuff (eg. parse json and extract vars). Yes, some people do that.
