'Fraid so.
I switched this gen from a Pixel 7 Pro to iPhone 14. It’s such a better experience in just about every conceivable way I highly doubt I’ll ever touch Android again.
Being blasted with ads is your idea of a better experience? You and I clearly don't live in the same reality.
Ads? What are you talking about?
The browser. You are forced to use Safari. Safari does not allow extensions or otherwise block ads. I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on my phone.
https://adblockplus.org/
Works as well as ublock origin, which I use on my PC.
Don't get me wrong I would never advice anyone to use a Macbook over a PC. There are some people who are embedded in their ecosystem, but generally they are expensive to buy and expensive to repair machines. But not having a decent adblock is not one of the reasons I would use.
ABP is, ironically, adware, and probably also malware. You'd be better off with the stock browser.
You are going to have to back that statement up with something.
