Firefox works very well on iPhone, by the way. It’s my daily browser there.
- P-Nuts 3y agoIt doesn’t support extensions though. I think only Orion supports extensions on iPhone.
- augustulus 3y agoSafari itself supports extensions
- P-Nuts 3y agoNot Firefox and Chrome extensions though, only a much more limited selection
- augustulus 3y agoright, but Firefox only supports Firefox extensions and Chrome Chrome, so what’s your point?
- zlg_codes 3y agoBoth Firefox and Chrome implemented Google's EEE WebExtensions format so there's rough parity between the two. As a result, Firefox extensions got dumber. Bye bye Vimperator, DownThemAll, etc.
- augustulus 3y agooh really? this must have been fairly recently, right?
- foundry27 3y agoMy understanding was that until next year when EU+UK legislation regulating digital marketplaces comes further into force, all of these iOS apps for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc. MUST be wrappers around the exact same Webkit rendering engine that Safari uses. I think it’s cool that everyone can enjoy the better UIs today (myself included), but everything other than the UI is placebo.
- gloryjulio 3y agoIt's a reskinned safari if you are not aware. The hope is once Apple allowed sideloading, we can start to use the actual firefox with extensions.
- otikik 3y agoWell I did not know that. Perhaps that's why it works so seamlessly. Well one of the upsides then is that switching to Firefox in IOS is very painless then.
- RedShift1 3y agoBut it uses the Safari engine
