So that's why Google wants you to use Chrome on your iPhone so badly::Sundar Pichai's Google pays Tim Cook's Apple a whopping 36% of search revenue it gets when people use Safari — ouch.

Google and Apple are both trash tier companies with zero respect for the human or their privacy.

And Samsung somehow manages to be worse than both of them.

I don't get it. what did Samsung do that's so much worse then degrading the internet search resualts?

Genuinely not sure where to even begin with this.

I would recommend looking at Samsung history as a company, from having the largest private militarized navy at one point to active influence on various countries politicians to allow them to continue to live like kings.

For a more thorough overview I would recommend https://wri-irg.org/en/story/2011/war-profiteer-month-samsung it's a bit aged but covers a lot, would recommend following up on more recent shenanigans with the search terms "samsung human testing, samsung war technology division influence on global politics, samsung militarized private navy, Samsung aircraft carrier, Samsung support of genocide, Samsung and African warlords, Samsung and child slavery, Samsung and nestle projects, Samsung war crime, et al"

I thought you were just gonna list out some shitty consumer practices hahaha holy shit.

Edit: A lot of these things you're advising to search lead to 0 meaningful results. Seems kind of misleading.
