IDK if this is still the case but I expect so...
Safari uses WebKit, Microsoft Edge uses EdgeHTML, Chrome uses Blink, and Firefox uses Gecko. On iOS, Apple has never allowed third-party browsing engines. Developers can build browsers, but they're always just wrappers for the platform's Webkit-based first-party engine.27 Jan 2016 -
A-C-E56527y@helloworld yeah but like they can at least allow a system wide “primary/default browser” setting so users can change where links open when clicked

Dacexi119977yAren't browsers on iOS just wrappers around the same webview? So using Firefox is basically just a skinned Safari?

A-C-E56527y@Dacexi probably, but wouldn’t that make it easier to allow iOS users to use a different browser tho if they are all using the same browsing engine?
