The efficient solution to that problem is governments using a different platform that’s actually neutral.

First time I’ve heard public services called efficient, but ok.

I’m not being disingenuous. I watch videos on a bunch of platforms. It’s easy.

We’re not talking about you here. You’re purposely ignoring the problem, and therefore being disingenuous.

There are countless other video streaming services.

There are government websites - including my state’s dmv - that exclusively use youtube. You’re being disingenuous when you’re saying you can just use another streaming service (and I don’t believe you don’t know it).

Is it more anti competitive than McDonald’s only selling McDonald’s burgers

Yeah, it’s more like the next time you go to Wendy’s, McDonald’s will follow you and try to lock the doors before you go in.

I see, that explains the confusion.

Costco recently came to my country and it feels so incredibly weird to wait for someone to first unpack your stuff and for someone else to scan it, and then someone else packs it again.

I’m in the states, but I still kind of feel weird having them do this. That said, they’re much faster at it than me and lines are always huge, so they probably prefer it this way.

Bring your own bags => cashiers toss stuff into cart and break things, because you have to bag your own stuff.

Cashiers bag stuff => less things break, because stuff is bagged then put in the cart.

Ah, that makes sense. I still miss the text reflow that browser had, but I’ve long given up on finding a replacement for it.

Do you mean you’re given a choice in Firefox or in other apps? I meant being presented with a private/regular mode choice when opening from other apps, like sharing a link or using “open in browser”.

Oh I see, I’m talking about where everything is in firefox, though if you mean just on the regular context menu of any link I don’t see that for chrome either. In fact it looks like the only way to do it in either browser is what you said: choose in the settings to either have plain tabs or private by default. Now I’m curious how you managed to do it in other browsers.

Different commenter, but I’m on android 13 and private browsing works just fine for me. Private links are kept in a separate ‘group’ from normal tabs, and you’re given the option to choose if you long press on a link.
