      If Google is investing in creating a non-WebKit browser for iOS and given all the heat they are getting for Safari and WebKit, we might see this sooner than later.

      I’d have bought an iPhone a long time ago if it had Firefox. Unfortunate.

        Hoping that when sideloading becomes a thing (thanks to the EU) firefox will develop a full iOS version

          I was hopeful too until I found out that Apple is geofencing it to Europe only.

        It does have Firefox but it’s a Safari reskin.

          Firefox focus is pretty good, at least for what I use it for. I just need something I can quickly search with on mobile, the rest is in apps.

          It’s still better than chrome or safari on iOS. It has a built in ad blocker. Honestly, I just want that Reddit extension that automatically replaces www with old.

              It’s like Digg.

            It’s called Sink it for Reddit

              Thanks! I will try this out. Safari only, but I avoid Reddit as much as I can now.

          So it’s not Firefox

          Because crApple only allows WebKit-based browsers on iOS.

        Orion is the next best thing. You can install extensions like uBO and other FF extensions.

      Orion browser by Kagi. Closest we have to a Firefox like browsing experience on the iPhone. 🙏

        Is it chromium based or ff based?

          Webkit! It’s currently only available on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.

            Isn’t every browser on iOS webkit?

              Yes but the browser engine isn’t really the main selling point. Kagi is building Orion Browser with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It’s privacy respecting, fast, and extensible. Support for other platforms are also planned.

                Thank you all for explaining!

                I will note that it does have its issues, and that you may not want to use it as your daily driver if you’re worried about some website breakage. To me, having most of the little extensions I use on Firefox work correctly makes me like it more. I just don’t recommend going in without warnings of some kind. 🙏

          Literally the only option on iOS is WebKit, unless you’re sideloading.
