An in-depth investigation into how Apple limits web browser capabilities on iOS to protect its App Store ecosystem.

This video is the result of three months of research into Apple, and its systematic war against websites. I still like a lot of what Apple is doing despite the issues in this video, especially their fight to protect user privacy and offer great user experiences. This is a new type of video on this channel, let me know what you think about it.
