In what sense? On iOS you're still using Safari under the hood basically, so there's pretty minimal "freedom" involved, if any.

- netizen-936824 5y agoIf you're interested in freedom, as in free software, why would you even touch an apple device
- meepmorp 5y agoand if you're using an apple device, why bother with a second class browser? The sync isn't worth the hassle.
- netizen-936824 5y agoYou seem to be implying that apple is first rate. hard disagree
- zerocrates 5y agoI think they meant "second class" as in "second-class citizen" not "second-rate."
- spicybright 5y agoWhat hassle? The one time app download? Firefox sync works fine.
- nvrspyx 5y agoThe hassle of no adblockers (or extensions), bookmarking/read listing/redirecting/etc. from in-app webviews, inability to add a website to Home Screen, zero PWA support (even if Safari's is limited), and I'm sure there's others. It's not Firefox's fault. It's just that Safari has system-level privileges that Firefox can't have, despite just being Safari under-the-good. With that said, I'm not the person you replied to and wouldn't argue against someone using Firefox on iOS. The above are just my reasons for not using it, so it's understandable if those things don't matter to others.
- meepmorp 5y agoEverything that's not safari is just a skin over safari, minus the convenience of system integration.
