Many people have had easy success with Firefox by spoofing a “Chrome on Windows” user agent; you can use an extension like this one to do so.
Brad Murray has confirmed that all bridges will migrate away from being Matrix Appservices (“cloud bridges”), although the option to self-host your own version of beeper’s Appservices will remain an option > **Brad Murray** The current plan is for each client to send and receive with their own locally running connections, as opposed to letting one client use another client's connections to send in real time. We've had some pretty bad experiences with the old androidsms bridge with that architecture (since only your Android phone could send or receive a SMS). > **Brad Murray** We're still going to keep all our bridges open source and usable as Matrix Appservices, so if you want to use any Matrix client it's probably best to self-host against Beeper's homeserver (which we'll still support) or just run your own homeserver with our open source bridges

interesting choice, or business as usual?

The bridges have always been open source. The clients were forked from element (which is open source) until recently when the Android app was rebuilt; the clients are not planned to be open source.

I’ve been using this on my iPhone for a bit (it’s free) I really like being able to completely customize the address bar and items on it, as well as the main menu items, and the URL menu/contextual menu (the thing that appears when you hold down on a link) there’s an iPad version available too via TestFlight His product homepage: https://quiche.works/browser

They’ve been preparing for a while: https://9to5mac.com/2023/04/25/ios-16-restrict-features-based-on-location/
multiple reports on Discord, Matrix, and Telegram, seem to suggest that, without any notice, Apple is lifting the hardware bans which had been applied to Apple users who had used their Macs and Apple IDs with Beeper
Bloomberg reports that the three additional potential gatekeepers, namely: iMessage, Bing, Edge, have all been excluded The above graphic thereby shows all those that will be targeted on March 7 via [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/23/24047861/microsoft-edge-and-bing-may-avoid-the-eus-latest-regulations)

Beeper is said to be focusing on adding other chat networks to their “Mini” app, and preparing for a relaunch.

Bloomberg says no, according to “people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.” The decision is to be officially released by the EU in February 2024
Beeper previously asked their first officially appointed Reddit mod to join the telegram group, where [he spammed NSFW content](https://t.me/beeperapp/1118) Announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/beeper/s/LBncfZnIsb Beeper’s official discord invite, provided by Daniel “captain booty clap” Ramirez: https://discord.gg/zf6hf6UY4G update: Beeper is also permanently banning from their subreddit anyone who mentions “Telegram” or “Lemmy” update 2: Eric Migicovsky added a comment that the discord was made at his request; therefore it is official
Apple claims it “does not monetise iMessage via the sale of hardware devices” it further claims it runs 5 completely separate App Stores

it’s ok because you can edit your comments

that too

It would definitely be interesting to see this go to a major court. I imagine Apple will argue you’re free to do whatever you want on your device but that that does not extend to iMessage servers because those requires accepting pretty strict terms of service and will argue the users are breaking the EULA which they agreed to. Apple will argue they have the right to run their servers as they see fit.
We need new regulations around corporations that run these pseudo-commons platforms as “legit capitalist platforms.”
