Safari on iOS does allow extensions. It also is a “real” browser, whatever that means. iOS does not, however, allow _alternate rendering engines_, which is different.
- behnamoh 4y agoI find Safari extensions inferior than Chrome/Firefox extensions. Who thought it's a good idea to show extensions as apps on the springboard/launchpad?? I now have 68 extensions on my Brave (desktop). Imagine seeing 68 additional icons on my macOS launchpad!
- kadoban 4y agoIt allows one real browser. The rest might as well just be reskins for how little it matters.
- Zurrrrr 4y agoActing like you don't know what a real browser means in this context just so you can be mock offended. Oh you Apple users.
- bee_rider 4y agoSafari is clearly a real web browser, you can use it to browse the web. It is a weird comment, the more straightforward and honest way of putting it would be “alternative browsers.”
- Zurrrrr 4y agoSafari is real. People mean Chrome or Firefox on iOS are not real because they are just skins for Safari.
- bee_rider 4y ago> Since *iOS doesn't allow real browsers* and extensions, Brave has been a sanity-saver for me. I mean, the comment is pretty straightforward, I don’t really see the need to come to this person’s defense. I agree that the iOS policy is dumb, but deliberately misinterpreting this person to make them correct is silly.
- Zurrrrr 4y agoThat's what I get for replying to replies out of context and going by memory. Oh well.
