Pretty much the same with or with out the bubbles. However it does reduce splashing, breaks up the surface tension a little and does save a little water. Really those are all good things. Why do you want to change it?
It causes more suds when washing dishes by hand (if you add soap before the sink is full). Suds have little or no function except to overflow the sink and make a mess, but people want them anyway. I always fill the sink THEN add soap.
ttHAts what I read too. The original clothes detergents didn't make any suds and no one would buy them. So they added something to make suds. OTOH, I use the suds to tell if I have added enough soap or detergent. It seems to me, that when there is too much dirt, there are no suds in the washing machine, and that adding enooug detergent to match the dirt allows some suds to be there.
How could this be true. How can it restrict the flow without reducing pressure? How can it reduce the amount of water coming out without reducting pressure.
By making the opening "smaller", you get less water at the same pressure.
Put your thumb over the end of a garden hose so most of the stream is blocked. The water pressure coming out is a lot higher, but there is actually less water coming out.
While washing your pantihose under the sink MM... I suggest this: . Aerators restrict the flow ....... which does actually maintain the water pressure IN THE STSTEM>>NOT AT YOUR HANDS YOU IDIOT! and air is introduced to reduce the amount of water consumed ...Please fully comprehend what you are reading!

A) Then they should say that. What do I care about the pressure in the system? I care about the water I'm using. And it's nonsense anyhow. If not having an aerator would decrease the pressure in the system, then having an aerator that decreased the water flow by 50% would still decrease the water in the system by 50% of the amount it decreased without the aerator.
In the average home, how many people and devices are using water at the same time? I don't know, but I've never heard anyone say they have a shortage of water or water pressure when others are using the sink. Whether there are aerators or not.
What's wrong with you?
I'm glad to see that you noticed that one could make a distinction between in the system and at your hands, but after that, you lost control. I seem to understand it better than you do.
If they spray to the side, it's usually because they're cheaply made (something I've never seen on high quality faucets), or they have debris in them.
What? Are you sayin' I'm not a man because I like the aerator? I'd make some comment about my wife thinking I was gay when we first me, but that might be crossing a line... ;-D
What I DO hate about aerators is that they get clogged quite easily by debris in the water line. Living in a hard water area, I get lots of calcium deposits in the hot water line that throw tiny little black chips which build up and clog the faucet. About every other month I take the aerator off the faucets in the house and clean out the "stones" (as my wife likes to call 'em).
Snort. When I'm running water out of the kitchen tap, it's usually because I'm trying to fill something up. All a flow-reducer does is waste my time.
