Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)

Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

But browsers aren't app stores?

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

Where do you install browsers from?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

On iOS? I don't. I guess it shows.

I thought the EU already forced them under the Digital Markets Act to allow alternative browser engines outside of Webkit on iOS.

Likely will happen whenever Apple starts to allow sideloading, probably next year at around March.

iirc apple doesn't allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn't have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.
