As far as I know there no browser yet on iOS in EU using a different engine than WebKit. The main issue seems to be that it has to be EU-only and companies would have to maintain two applications.
- Baguette5242 2y agoIt's really a short sighted vision from Mozilla (and others). No doubt that further regions will just copy/paste/modify the current EU framework and apply it locally, there's already discussions in Japan, South Korea and so on (1). Saying "We have no plans to maintain two version of the browser just for the EU" is just ignoring what is likely to happen in the future: An extension of this specific EU legislative framework in several parts of the world.

- master-lincoln 2y agoWhy 2 applications? You mean a webkit version and the real Firefox? What is even the benefit of using another browser on current iOS if it's the same as safari under the hood? Just a bit of UI?
