Now if only Apple will let Firefox run its own rendering engine instead of Safari’s.

Like, that’s the only thing I don’t get. Other apps which are not web browsers, fine. Use Safari. But an actual web browser? FFS, let them use their own engine.

You can! There's a browser called reynard and it's based off gecko web browser but you still need to sideload them, it isn't available in App Store :-(

The main goal for this browser is to make web browsing usable for older iOS, I find it pretty neat so I wanted to share this!

its just that Apple forces Webkit to all Apps on the app store.

Orion has gotten around that, somehow. Not sure what kind of wizardry they’ve pulled, but they managed to get both Firefox and Chrome extensions working on iOS.
