So exactly how do you suppose they sync your browsing history and bookmarks between devices if they don’t store the information? And your browsing history is e2e encrypted by keys on your device. Apple doesn’t have access to your browsing history.

You can give Apple any age you want to. It’s not like it checks.

And I have no idea about the other topics you are going off on and what they have to do with Apple..

Are trying to say it’s not possible to write terms that give them the ability to sync your history without also letting them mine and sell all the insights from it?

From a technical level, exactly how is Apple mining your browsing history and bookmarks if they are end to end encrypted and they don’t have access to it?

Why would someone want to sync bookmarks, browsing history etc between their phone, their iPad and their computer?

Chrome and Firefox do the same.

Firefox only does this if you set it up that way. It's in no way obligatory. That is a far cry from Apple and Google.

And you can disable bookmark syncing for both Google and Safari.

But what privacy threat are you trying to avoid by not having your bookmarks and history synced in an E2E manner where Apple can’t see either?
