  Developer tooling on-device, for one.

    Yes, Xcode would be awesome.

  It is the iOS version of Safari instead of the desktop version. Sites often opt for showing the mobile version.

    This is fairly easily worked around for sites that look at the user agent — just build a browser app around WKWebView and set its user agent to that of desktop Safari, and boom, you’ve got desktop versions of most sites. There are a few that judge which version to deliver based on screen resolution + OS, but this can sometimes be worked around by injecting some JS to force use of desktop stylesheets. There’s probably some kind of trickery you could use to spoof screen resolution if needed, too.

      Icab mobile does this. It's good. The problem is, safari is better for a lot of things, and also has native adblocker integration. Would be better to be able to designate a desktop user agent in safari as well.

        WKWebViews support the same JSON content blocking lists that Safari uses for its content blocking extensions, so while you can’t support the same extensions as Safari you could at least bundle block lists with the app.

          By "you" you're referring to icab's developer and not me, right? Firefox focus is the only third party browser I know of that has a native content blocker.

    Why are user agents used at all? Isn’t responsive supposed to end all of that?

  RAM. Swap space.
