• ▶ 31:56 Brendan Eich And Dave works for Apple.
• ▶ 32:12 Brendan Eich Eventually, that led to WebKit being forked from KHTML in 2005, but getting Dave at Apple was quite a coup for Don Melton, the manager at the time of Safari, who was also ex Netscape.
• ▶ 36:08 Brendan Eich But Android took a while to get anywhere near decent, and I still can't use it, even though I've got many complaints about Apple.
• ▶ 36:57 Brendan Eich Lead on privacy as well as Steve Jobs did at Apple.
• ▶ 37:56 Brendan Eich Dave Hyatt and Maciej Stachowiak and others at Apple had said, let's stop patch bombing KHTML.
• ▶ 38:03 Brendan Eich It'll be run by Apple, but it'll be webkit.org, and it'll be a proper open source project.
• ▶ 38:07 Brendan Eich And good for them, they did it.
• ▶ 38:09 Brendan Eich And that became the basis for not only what they put in Safari, but for Chrome.
• ▶ 46:13 Brendan Eich And like I mentioned, Apple gets fair credit for privacy concerns that I think came directly from Steve Jobs in Safari private windows and third party cookie blocking.
• ▶ 46:23 Brendan Eich And Apple wraps itself in privacy.
• ▶ 49:07 Brendan Eich But I couldn't recruit them away from Apple, and I tried to get Hewitt as well, and it would have been a WebKit-based Mozilla browser, but it was too risky.
• ▶ 1:21:16 Brendan Eich So they can give you like privacy.com does like the Apple card does.
• ▶ 1:21:29 Brendan Eich It's like the generated email addresses that Apple and others are doing.
• ▶ 1:28:58 Brendan Eich Pre-installs aren't really happening outside of the apps from the OS superpower like Android, Google, or iOS, Apple.
• ▶ 1:37:29 Brendan Eich We can get people off Safari, but Safari is still privileged in Apple's OS's and kind of tied.
• ▶ 1:39:52 Brendan Eich So, I've not been reading enough, and I owe a friend at Apple a read of his new book, which is his first novel.
