This is such a fucking pain in the ass. I usually do all my paper work and emails through incognito. Which means lots of screenshots. Well about 2-3 months ago, they blocked the ability.

iPhone Chrome does not have this issue. Why is Google more restrictive than with their own products on the competition?

Also why is the Chrome update with the new look that came out with Android P slower than the Chrome from before the update?

Android is open in the loosest sense of the word. Almost every phone uses binary blobs for the hardware drivers, many flagship phones have locked bootloaders, and most manufacturers insert their own proprietary shovelware into the OS.

Not sure what you mean.

I meant it on the base Google level in terms of restrictions.

Because Google is a shit tier company.

I'm still waiting on the fix for fast charging on my Pixel.

Android P DP3 broke it for some users. That came out what? 4 months ago? Google finally acknowledged it with P official came out.

It's been almost 7 weeks since then and still no fix.

Android and iOS started off with completely different design philosophies and, over time, they've gravitated towards each other.

Lol, wtf? I would be livid if that happened to me. So what, there's just regular charging? I can't live without FC in 2018.

Doesn't explain one single company keeping it open on the competition and restricting it on their own stuff.

If Google Chrome is the problem, then it just reinforces what I'm saying. Besides, no other browser syncs everything between all my stuff.

Also Samsung Internet has it blocked too and that's the only other browser worth using on Android. I've been trying to like Firefox Mobile for years, but it's just not good. Especially if you have it at a high DPI, in which case it defaults to desktop.

Firefox Mobile works great for me.

Pretty much. Takes like 3 hours to charge. Really annoying but luckily I have a second phone.

But yeah, people swear up and down Android is so much better and does anything and everything better than iOS, but that's just something wannabe nerds believe.
