  Depends where you. In some places (I think it was Japan?) Apples practice of not allowing alternative browser engines was deemed anticompetitive and outlawed

    Same in Europe but I don’t think Mozilla spent the time and effort needed to bring Gecko to iOS. So it’s still just a reskinned WebKit.

      Well there you go. Hopefully they get around to overthrowing the mobile webkit overlords soon enough

    All iOS browsers are webkit under the hood (aka “reskinned safari”)

      Yep. It’s a choice Apple users make (probably unknowingly, to be fair) when they choose Apple.

        To be fair to most people who use phones, I don’t think they understand what a browsing engine is, let alone a browser half the time. I got my family to use Firefox, and they don’t know it’s a browser either.
