  On iOS and iPadOS they do but not on MacOS to my knowledge

  *Most Apple hardware macOS is a desktop OS. It has a terminal, it lets you download that weird .app file from a random website, and it allows browsers to use their own engines. So, not too different from Windows or Linux.

  You are correct for iOS and iPadOS though. They must use the WebKit rendering engine. All browsers on those are just Safari reskins.

    So it’s just an iOS thing, got it.

    Still weird, I truly yearn for the Linux Phone

        Yeah, but too much Google involved
