Just a Firefox coffee cart hanging out outside of a Berlin Apple Store today.
The side of the cart reads:
“Safari is a great browser,
for downloading Firefox.”

Too bad with Apple, all browsers are just Safari under the hood with a different skin. One of the biggest reasons I can't switch to IOS.

On iOS, yes. On MacOS, no.

Yeah that’s cool

Keep telling yourself that. 212,000 trackers and ads blocked on FFFocus so far.

There are different reasons to support alternative browsers. While Firefox on IOS definitely does ad and tracker blocking (which is great!) Some people are concerned that the underlying engine is restricted on IOS to webkit. So it may very well be a better experience for you than safari, but that alone does not satisfy concerns of homogenization in the browser space on Apple devices.

They didn’t lie, focus is indeed also on webkit
-
It's the same thing on Safari for iOS...

Firefox on iOS is straight doodoo though.
-
Isn’t it just Safari with a Firefox skin?
I’d heard they were opening up the platform though. Maybe proper Firefox with add on support some day?
-
Yes it’s WebKit underneath but the “skin” itself is crap. They may not be able to have extensions on it but at least they could fix the UI and add ad blocking and tracking protection to it.
