Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

I thought the EU already forced them under the Digital Markets Act to allow alternative browser engines outside of Webkit on iOS.
Likely will happen whenever Apple starts to allow sideloading, probably next year at around March.

iirc apple doesn't allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn't have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

This is a stupid argument. I have seen Orion browser support BOTH Firefox and chrome extensions right now so why cant Firefox do own extensions?
13 14 ReplyIdk why you’re being downvoted. I’ve tried Orion browser and it really does work. I assumed extensions like that would go against Apple’s App Store policies but they’ve seemed to make it works so far.
11 1 ReplyI don't think there's Firefox on iOS because it would have to be Safari.
5 2 ReplyThere is Firefox for iOS. It uses WebKit like every other browser.
