Firefox on iOS doesn't even exist really, it's a lie. It's a Firefox front-end to Safari designed just to look a certain way and sync settings and bookmarks. Apple won't allow anything more, it's not Mozilla's fault.



Is the only thing that defines a browser its underlying rendering engine?

I hope that there are other things that make a product unique. Like features or defaults or what it looks like.


okay it's probably fair to say "it' snot a lie" but it's definitely not what I expected (a full build of Firefox for iOS).


I wonder if it'll eventually be possible to compile Firefox to WASM and then run it on iOS Safari...dawg...
