    Because it’s the only browser not based on Google’s Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google’s monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.

  • You’re welcome. Take into account that switching from Apple / Google Maps to one of those apps is quite a change and takes some time to get used to: they work offline (which is great for hiking or traveling abroad) so you need to download the maps you’ll use beforehand. Also the data might be incomplete… but you can help to improve it, which I find really cool. And it’s important to realise that the data doesn’t come from the same source as the app, so missing map data is not the app developer’s fault. Finally there’s no business reviews or ratings, which I don’t personally miss, but I understand some people will.
