This reminds me of Kitt Browser, which brought some of the Chrome extension APIs to iOS. Eyeo acquired it to make Adblock Browser for iOS, and Kitt has since been removed from the App Store.
Some resources relating to it are still online [1, 2] and Adblock Browser, which is derived from Kitt Browser, is open source [3, 4].

- archajain 6y agoThank you! We’re looking into building sync now (it’s the most requested feature for us right now), trying to make it work not just with Firefox but all popular browsers. Thanks for pointing to Kitt, I’ll check it out.
- SahAssar 6y agoAny iOS browser can't be based on firefox since apple does not allow it. At most it can be a shell around webkit.
- jeffgreco 6y agoThey're referring to the Firefox iOS app, which is open source. https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios
- SahAssar 6y agoFirefox on iOS has more in common with safari than it has with firefox on Win/Linux/OSX. I didn't say it wasn't open source, but regardless of that it still cannot run any other engine than apple mandates.
- jeffgreco 6y agoThat’s generally known and understood, what are you trying to clarify here? Nobody said it was a non WebKit browser.
