The EU browser wars are about to take off in a big way.

I wonder how long it will take for Mozilla to make a proper iOS version. I suspect that Apple didn't give them any notice.
They didn't have to. The EU regulations have been public for a while now, the only question was how Apple was going to comply.
True, but I don't think a fund limited organisation like Mozilla is going to spend a lot of money and time on a maybe.
Regulations are not "maybe"s.
The regulations outright stated that it has to be allowed. So they knew it was going to be allowed on iOS. Like I said, the only question was how: Mozilla didn't know what the mechanisms made by Apple to make this work would look like, but that can be worked out fairly easily later, once they have a working build.
they're already in the process for almost a year now. they anticipated the ruling and didn't wait for apple's statement.
Thanks.
