- new_realist 7y agoUse an enterprise cert.
- Someone1234 7y agoTo sideload what? Is there a non-WebKit browser around for iOS you can sideload with an enterprise managed iOS device?
- 0xFFC 7y agoWhat is that?
- tln 7y agoSounds interesting... And then what? Can one grab the source and compile chromium or firefox in such a way that it can use JIT and all the other things? Would that even be "supported" as a compile option or up-to-date branch? I thought PROT_EXEC was limited to Webkit. Curious what the next steps may be / what details I'm unaware of
- nan0 7y agoCould you expand on this comment more? Engines that run on Android vs iOS maybe? Just curious :)
- Arbalest 7y agoVery likely more a point about freedom. Apple does not allow Firefox to use it's own engine under iOS
- NightlyDev 7y agoI kinda like the way they're doing things. It reminds me of the IE6 times, but with no decent options. I guess I'm a sucker for nostalgia. At least the browsers can freeze, crash and hit more bugs per hour with a faster CPU, so at least it got that going for it.
- bzb3 7y agoFrom your tone I assume that even if Apple allowed you to run Gecko on an iPhone you would find another reason not to buy one.
- arkanciscan 7y agoThere are many to choose from.
- kasabali 7y agoBecause web engine is the only thing people run on their phones?
