I don’t expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it’s nice that it will be possible in a year.
Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

You know, I hadn’t realized this before. Thanks to Apple’s decade-long policy, alternative browsers for iOS literally don’t exist, they’ll have to be ported. It will take years for that to happen, if anybody even bothers. Well, Google will.
And that’s how Apple will have managed to shoot themselves in the foot and have iOS fall under Chrome domination too.
At this point if they were smart they would sponsor the ports of alternative browsers that are not Chrome, but I doubt they have it in them.
There is a new one, Orion. https://kagi.com/orion/
WebKit, isnt it though?
I think so. As someone said, safari with another gui.
It is, but it allows you to install many Firefox extensions. Not everything works, but it’s the best option out there I’ve found.

Right. Like Apple’s webkit is just the reskinned KDE browser?
For now, but the EU will force Apple to allow non-WebKit engines on iOS. At which point only Google will have enough money to spare porting an entire engine to a small market.
What year do you think it is right now?

One could ask you the same thing and it would be a more appropriately directed question. Chrome hasn’t been WebKit for literally years.

No shit Sherlock. If you made the same observation about Firefox it would be just as dumb. The whole point of this post is that other rendering engines van be ported to iOS now. It doesn’t matter one little bit what Apple forced yesterday and it certainly doesn’t mean Blink is WebKit today.
Oh look, a link from the quick Google search you didn’t do:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)
In gonna go ahead and block you now though, have a nice day.
