You can use Firefox on iphones

Edit: you can, but not really

On iOS, Apple only allows browsers to use Safari's WebKit. So they all use the same rendering engine, effectively making all iOS browsers Safari clones.

Did not know that. Thanks.

You can pretend that you do. It's almost the same thing, but not quite.

Can you? When did they change that?

I always thought they forced everything to use Safari under the hood.

Nothing has changed in that respect.

Yeah you're right
