Oh wonderful! For all of our users that use VPN, we’re just screwed. Glad we began blocking access from non-Windows computers 😊

The hair is the giveaway for me. Though I may not have noticed it unless I was looking for something.

But we’ll still pay just as much as if a human delivered it. Not much point to these when companies keep pulling that crap.

Not sure about mobile apps, but I believe you could do this through Google Translate. In Google Translate, I have inserted the site’s URL there and it shows me the site and translates all language it can into my own language so I can browse as if it were designed for my language.

I think we do have this ability, but then we also have a few apps that will straight up block third party apps, mostly related to security, which is when you may want clipboard history sometimes like when copying a password from a password manager.

My job recently implemented new measures that extend to Outlook and Teams on my iPhone that won’t let me use third party keyboards in these apps anymore.

I don’t see that happening just because of the technological hurdles there will likely be to get the third party store.

Android has had this ability since its very early days but most people still stick with the default Google Play Store unless they got something like an Amazon specific device.

Because of two reasons:

• most users don’t know other storefronts exist
• even if they did know, most don’t want to go through the hurdles of figuring out how to download the new store, get it set up correctly, disable relevant security that allows third party installation, and set up an account for another storefront

This is further unlikely to happen because Android has given Amazon and other manufacturers the ability to create their own Android devices whereas Apple has not and likely never will. You will likely never be able to buy an iPhone that has a custom ROM from Microsoft, for example.
