    At the moment, iOS doesn’t not allow any other browser engines. Every browser on iOS is just reskinned Safari.

      That’s kind of a blessing in disguise; otherwise basically all web traffic would be Chrome.

      Apparenty this is softening some: https://www.techspot.com/news/108965-japan-gives-apple-december-deadline-drop-ios-browser.html

      And Safari is quite performant on iOS.

      Maybe I’m too cynical, but I wouldn’t mind if that continues, just so there’s some chunk of traffic that isn’t Chrome and that web development doesn’t turn into a complete monoculture. A smidge of Firefox and Safari alone isn’t enough for that.

      (EDIT: My assumption is that if Apple allows Chrome on iOS, you can bet they are going to funnel basically everyone into it).
