50 million+ installs on Android, so it's not a tiny number.

There are too many damn apps already imo, but apparently some people like having as many as possible

DuckDuckGo said U.S. app installs went up 18.1% week-over-week on average during the May 20 to May 25 period, compared to May 13 to May 18. The company said that growth was sustained for six consecutive days and peaked at 30.5% on May 25. On iOS, the rate of install is even higher, with week-over-week growth hitting a 33% average, peaking at 69.9%.

I seriously doubt that's the real reason for those making the decisions. It's just an easy explanation, and they'll come up with other excuses when they keep expanding their borders.

In any sane country they'd both be equally dangerous (i.e. completely safe) too.

It's the Jerusalem Post. It shouldn't even be allowed here

To your edit, I just use "search". It's generic and it's shorter

I appreciate you being honest in your response here.

I'd recommend adding this disclaimer to the post text and repo readme for complete transparency, and so anyone who doesn't want to use AI-generated projects can move on without creating arguments in the comments.

There are many genuine reasons to not trust code generated by LLMs, especially with anything network-connected or handling important data, so it's important to be upfront about it.

If everyone on the internet was to use adblockers, most of the web would die out

Websites existed before internet ads came about, and while it may be true that most would die without ads I'd be happy to see them go because the vast majority of websites have no value and only exist to try and make a few bucks off ads.

Hosting for most websites these days is virtually free. For about 80% of mine I only have to pay for the domain names, and I have no desire to serve ads to my visitors under the guise of covering costs.

The alternatives are directly charging for access to a service, or providing it for free and relying on donations or payment just for extra/bonus features/content. These methods are very successful when something is actually worth paying for.
