      If you install Firefox on Windows, MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS, or Android you get *real* Firefox, complete with the Gecko engine. But not on iOS. Apple cripples engine competition in silent, deeply impactful ways.https://twitter.com/slightlylate/status/1176856950086275072 …

      Asked an entire room full of webdevs yesterday if any of them knew that FF/Chrome/Opera/Brave/etc. for iOS weren't allowed to compete on engine quality. Zero hands up.

      Did you know that I ported gecko to iOS *twice*? Once back in 2010 on a jailbroken device and once again in 2015 on stock iOS:https://imgur.com/tBGy9hB

          This might be the way to distribute alternative browser's on iOS: https://youtu.be/ftyWe6DVvO4  I know there will be some limitations, but hey, whatever works. But probably still not enough to invest in such browser's development.

          That's the issue; Apple's explicit policy suppresses both extant and potential browser competition. Combined with the worst-in-the-industry feature pace of their engine, a death knell for the web as computing goes mobile.

          No, hard to muster the energy to get it to a shippable state knowing that we'd be playing chicken with the App Store review process.

          But for the record the JIT and everything worked fine (after we fixed a few things) and the scrolling was butter smooth (all that optimization work done for Firefox OS worked pretty well there).
