But Apple wants you to - as long as they get 18billion free money from Google on a yearly basis, hence default search engine is Google
Just a paltry 66% of the market. Not like the world's best browser Safari which has an overwhelming 18% marketshare. /s
They're too deeply entrenched in the RDF to notice or acknowledge.

No they're not. Seriously you guys need to back these claims up with fact next time.

I agree with others that this isn't exactly new, just streamlined in how the feature is presented to users. I wonder if this would make life better trying to work between multiple MS Teams servers. I have to use Teams for work, and it's a terrible, terrible user experience. If this install as app thing holds separate app storage and cookie stores, maybe I can have multiple Teams connections open in multiple instances of the Chrome web shells. (I know I could probably do this with other thin browser shells too, I just haven't looked yet).

"Since ATT launched in the spring, Apple hasn’t been asking for permission to personalize ads across apps like Apple News and App Store. It will, however, begin asking for those people who download the latest iOS 15 update. Sure, it may look like Apple is holding itself to the same standards as everyone else, but that’s only part of the story. The way Apple asks for this permission might raise an eyebrow or two as it significantly differs from the ATT messaging and other app providers. Essentially, it comes down to semantics: when Apple wants someone’s data to serve them relevant ads in the App Store and App News they’re asked to opt in to its “Personalised Ads” service, whereas other app owners have to ask users if they want to be “tracked” for ad targeting. Unsurprisingly, Apple believes the difference is more than just language. "

Microsoft also sells data. I trust them more than google. I trust Meta more than google and that saying something.
Google is pretty transparent about this. Hence why they can pay apple 18 billion so they can be default to harvest and sell data
Just because Apple has a hardware division does not mean it is not in the ad business.
