Hello all,
Firefox on iOS is for me lacking something : it’s own engine. As Apple is forcing browsers to use their own engine, WebKit, Firefox on iOS is in the end not a lot more than a wrapper to Safari. And I’m not happy with that.
I remember reading news last year that Apple will be forced by the EU to get rid of this limitation and allow browser to use their own engine.
I stumbled upon a lot of articles dating February stating that Firefox is actively working on having Gecko on iOS, but I cannot find any news about that since.
Do somebody know where we stand with that ? Is it abandoned, still in progress ?
Firefox is my number one browser of choice, and the only mature and good alternative to Chromium based browsers today. I would love to be able to use it on my phone as well as on my desktop…

Don’t buy Apple products then. Apple’s policies around that issue are known since many years by now.

Apple for now does not allow that. There were rumors this could change but only rumors.
