Not so long ago , I really realized what a rogue manufacturer is . Name and criticize Baidu , My Apple phone Safari Just search for something on Baidu , I haven't put the marketing number 、 Advertisements and spam are removed from the eyes , All of a sudden ,AppStore The interface moves to my eyes , One is called Baidu My software looked at me pitifully . So I click the back button in the upper left corner , And then continue to search ...

Isn't this a very common thing in China , Then I continue to browse , Click a Baidu Encyclopedia page link , I haven't opened it yet ,appstore Show it , This is Baidu Encyclopedia app.

good , Don't worry , I calmed my mood , I sorted out my disturbed thoughts , Continue to browse the encyclopedia , Slide to the bottom of the page , When loading new content , A pop-up window shows ： Use Baidu Encyclopedia APP, Get a better browsing experience ！

close , Keep browsing .

Click the internal link of the encyclopedia , Try to jump to another encyclopedia interface , All of a sudden , The browser is blank , I was led to appstore.

I'm sorry , I shut down Baidu directly , Use Google and Wikipedia to continue searching for information . This time, , Although Google also prompts below 【 stay IOS Try Google Desktop on , Get a better experience 】, But it never forced me to jump to appstore. Not to mention Wikipedia , Continuous use app There was no hint .

Quit the browser , I can't help thinking . I still remember getting my friend's sun hung Meng mobile phone not long ago , Take a look at the screen , The first interface is all Baidu series ： Baidu 、 Baidu search 、 Baidu smart browser 、 Baidu post bar 、 Baidu knows ... Baidu with redundant functions app Impressively displayed in front of my eyes , When I looked at my friend in shock , He shrugged ： Click in and download it yourself , You can't see it without installing it .

Look at the two browsers in your iPhone ：Safari and Alook, I stopped thinking , When a large factory complains about its free network disk bandwidth every day , Download a 3M When your e-book is limited to a dog , You can still believe that it has such a large bandwidth to push its users easily 100MB Of APP？ Is this putting the cart before the horse ？

From now on , I have never used Baidu system on my mobile phone again . Bing and Google ,DogeDoge and DuckDuckGo Has become my main search force .

Why APP

privacy

app To what extent is the craziness of privacy ？ I will not post any links , Just post one today cctv The content of ：

In the Android environment 【 Especially for some domestic shell systems 】 Next ,app The authority of is not small , Sometimes you can go through your browser records without being reminded .

ios In fact, compared with Android , At least the system can actively remind users whether to give them access rights .

I also admire that very much MIUI, We can keep the bottom line of users by standing still in this atmosphere of free access to privacy , Whatever its purpose , This has won my favor 【 Although I don't use Android 】

For software vendors , User data is a huge asset . For example, know everyone's preferences 、 Purchasing power, etc , The more detailed the information is , The more business opportunities can be tapped .

Not to mention Baidu , Even TIM and QQ It will also actively scan users Chrome Browse record <span class="heimu"> I depend on my nhentai What about browsing records </span>

Wake each other up 【For Android 】

In order to realize advertising marketing , In fact, some software should actively push advertising information to users .

Especially Android , Due to the withdrawal of Google from Chinese Mainland , The domestic android ecosystem is actually very chaotic , A simple message push , It can also embarrass a group of developers .

Why message push becomes a difficult problem ？ In fact, there is a big gap between the way we think of pushing messages and the way we actually push messages :

In the imagination ： User's mobile phone <== Take the initiative to push == Wechat server

actually ： User's mobile phone <== Passive push ==> Apple | Android message push server <== Take the initiative to push == Wechat server

Apple is OK to say ,18 Years ago, wechat was often unable to push , But since the optimization of the mainland route and the migration of Guizhou on the cloud , Its push service gradually becomes normal . However, Google has already withdrawn from the Chinese market , Its built-in push server is no longer linkable , Excuse me, these app Do that ？

answer ： Resident in the system background .

But the resident system background becomes a Zombine The process will inevitably be killed , What can I do about it ？

answer ： Wake up to each other .

When the user opens a app, this app Will activate another group in the background app, Then if the current app Killed , Activated app It will activate the one who was killed app.

This is very easy to understand, although only Baidu app Will push the advertisement , But he will still guide you to download Baidu browser --- To avoid being killed .

Why not a browser application

privacy

In this age where privacy is money , For domestic manufacturers , The first regrettable thing is , It is difficult for browsers to get users' privacy information . It's not about functional limitations , Instead, the core of the browser is sandboxing . Without user consent and external interfaces 、 Plug in , You can't use it directly js Get the user's mobile phone / Documents on the computer .

And the deadliest thing is , If web applications dare to secretly upload user privacy in the background , Once the console is opened, it will be exposed , Phase comparison APP Black box operation of , That's a world away .

Functional limitation

js The function is actually very powerful , However, some underlying and protocol restrictions cannot be done , You can't use it js Write an empty hand SMTP Send E-mail , You can't use it directly SSH Protocol link server 【WebSSH You need to actively install the server on the server 】

secondly , Some very resource - and computational intensive services cannot be implemented on browsers , For example, Tencent cannot move the glory of the king to the browser , You can't run machine learning in a browser .

Network restrictions

If you use a browser , Every time it opens the service online store, it needs to download the above again js、css And image resources , In fact, the pressure on the server is not small .

While using app, He can download the advertising pictures in the background in advance , Its styles and functions do not need to be downloaded again , And many resources can be cached locally , Even if you are offline for a short time, you can push .

This point ,PWA The technology is completely competent .PWA In the browser ServiceWorker Intercept and cache content for offline browsing . But for now PWA Technology is not hot in China 【 Obviously , Touched the interests of some enterprises 】, Therefore, it is still based on applications .

<span class="heimu"> however , You still have more traffic fees left than forced updates </span>

Why is there no similar situation abroad

Lack of regulation

overseas , There is only one official store for Android apps ：GooglePlay, It's not like AppStore The degree of not being on the shelf and not even being installed , But it is also a symbol . Applications that are not on the Google store will be judged as pirated or dangerous . And Google play The advertising supervision is very strict . If an application dares to be like Baidu , Crazy push advertising and self awakening , Maybe you can't even pass the safety review .

At home , Even the old man can't control it , It's like YuanShikai's sudden death in a scuffle among warlords all over the world , The chaos is self-evident .

Lack of privacy awareness

Robin Lee has a sentence quotes ： Chinese people prefer to exchange privacy for convenience .

Although this remark was ridiculed by countless netizens , But I have to admit that this is true . Even sometimes I am forced . Not many people will open countless virtual machine relay agents when surfing the Internet AdGuard, contrary , There are more people for PDD A few cents of vegetables . In a word ： Chinese people like to collect sheep , But in the end, they will be cut into leeks .

contrary , Beyond seas , People attach great importance to privacy , Even if the GoogleAdsense Have been punished several times , Needless to say Tor Such privacy protection software .

Different concepts of use

My personal habit is , Get one thing done , The lighter you use, the better , If it is not necessary, do not use the client . For example, receive messages on wechat , You can choose to download the wechat client to complete the transmission , It can also be used. Web wechat . Compared with the former , The latter is closed after use , Leave no trace , Too fast .

However, most of the habits of Chinese people are ： Download it first , What if it works in the future .

When I see the mobile advertising on TV , Most of the 8H16G Shipment to save 128G Memory start , Staring at the hand of this domestic only installed QQ To 2021 I can still play Minecraft Of iPhone6s【 Actual configuration 2GB Shipment to save A9 processor 】, I can't help but leave tears of regret ： Fortunately, I didn't buy Android .

Android phones, no matter how big the memory , The bottom core is virtualization , Plus the bad ecology in China , If you don't pay attention to more software , Its fluency is even better than 6 Years ago, 6s.

And the mobile phone card , Most people's first thought is ： Change a cell phone . instead of ： I deleted some software , Only keep QQ And wechat .

In especial , On the premise that the domestic internal circulation has been completed , More people choose to buy patriotic mobile phones , Install patriotic software . actually , There's nothing wrong with leaving a privacy line . But some people like to give their privacy to others .

an account of happenings after the event being told

actually , Most software comes from C/S Architecture direction B/S Architectural transformation is inevitable . But the domestic ecology seems to be hindering this development .

Maybe someone will ask , What's the use of privacy protection . Then I can only say , If your privacy is sold on the black market 1 A piece of gross money , The person with good privacy protection may be able to sell 5 One piece . The real danger does not lie in accurate push , And more afraid that someone will take it to do illegal things , Violence you , Swindle you .
