App permissions may be better than on Android, but browser choice just doesn't exist on iOS. So suggesting iOS to people who'd rather use the web page than the app seems a bit strange.
- teh_infallible 7y agoBrowser choice does exist on iOS. I use Brave.
- the8472 7y agoAll browsers on iphones are reskinned webkits.
- samatman 7y agoBrave is reskinned Chromium everywhere else, and reskinned Webkit on iOS. People who use Brave use it for reasons other than access to a unique rendering engine. Many of those reasons apply to the iOS version as well. Not making a case for Apple's decision here. I'd be happy if Gecko were available on iOS; there's no way I'd burn my battery like that, but competition is good. But it's not as simple as "there's one browser on iOS" either, the rendering engine is just one part of what makes a browser unique and useful.
