  Android is a fenced garden compared to the fortress that is iOS.

    I guess, but it’s like a 2 foot high fence

  I have been using Firefox as the default browser on my iPhone for a while now. It wasn’t complicated to setup either.

    Same here but it’s not Firefox with its own Engine, it’s a Firefox frontend for WebKit with some of Apple’s restriction.

  There are a bunch of apps that strictly require Chrome for their in-app custom tabs, though. I have to re-install Chrome on occasion because I can’t log into apps without it. Also, having Chrome installed at all makes it impossible to NOT set a default browser (i.e. to have it ask every time), which is what I prefer since I use several different browsers for different use cases.

    While we can, we should reject those sites and program them to the standards.
    Including that some features are optional.

    I have Firefox set up and never was the in-app browser firefox

    How I know? I have dark reader active on those pages and usually websites don’t reflect system primary settings.

      I think it used to be possible to set your default “custom tabs” browser as well, but I don’t think it is anymore. I’m not totally sure though.

      I don’t know why these apps use custom tabs in the first place. It’s always struck me as a solution in search of a problem.
