The point is that Mozilla wants to use their own browser engine for Firefox on iOS for all users. While the change opens up the possibility to do this in the EU, it's only possible to do so in the EU. iOS users in the US cannot get this version.
This means that Mozilla would have to maintain 2 versions, one for non-EU using webkit, the other for EU using their own, preferred browser engine.
- palata 3y agoIsn't the webkit one basically a marketing facade? Genuinely interested: wouldn't it make sense for Mozilla to just drop support for the webkit one and go with their own engine for the EU? That would reward the better legislation, and then the US could follow.
- St0n3d 3y agoYeah or people in the US just install something other than Firefox and call it a day when Mozilla decides to do that.
