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…

    If you like privacy and freedom, you could use Android (degoogled, obviously). I understand the EU is trying to force Apple to become better, but it’s still a walled garden much more than Android is, or aspires to be.
