Apple tells over a billion iPhone users to stop using Chrome

Apple has launched an attack ad targeting Google Chrome, highlighting privacy concerns and promoting Safari as a more secure browser option for iPhone users. The ad points out Chrome's extensive use of tracking cookies and questions the privacy of its Incognito Mode. Apple aims to maintain its majority grip on iPhone browser usage, especially as Google seeks to increase Chrome's presence on iOS devices. Google responded by emphasizing Chrome's built-in privacy and security features, stating that users have control over their data. The competition between Safari and Chrome on iPhones is intensifying, with Apple leveraging privacy concerns to sway users away from Chrome. The effectiveness of Apple's ad campaign remains to be seen, as existing Chrome users may be aware of the privacy issues but new users could be influenced to switch browsers. Google's stance on privacy and security will likely play a crucial role in how users perceive the two competing browsers.
