Why not stopping developing apps for Apple systems? Fuck them.
Mozilla doesn't have the sort of leverage to make an impact by abandoning apple devices. Firefox has an incredibly low market share and this could push people to other browsers. People tend to use the same browser for stuff like bookmark and password syncing, so abandoning ios could have larger consequences.
Yeah I understand, but if Apple is fucking up with our development, not only for Firefox, for any developer that makes apps for phones... why keep following their abusive rules? When I say "stopping developing apps for Apple" I mean, any developer that dislikes the abusive rules of Apple and fees. If we abandon the system, the iOS users will need to move to Android or other systems that are more friendly for developers.
Oh yeah generally I'd agree, with firefox I just think it'd be better to do what will push the fewest people away as long as it's possible to maintain development.
Sadly yeah, I was just like "screaming with anger" about what Apple does, and seems everyone just agrees and keep playing their game.
