Prepare for a real browser on iOS in 2024

In 2024 apple will open up for alternative stores, this might open up for alternative browser engines. This I think would be a great incentive for Mozilla Firefox to prepare for launch of a real and good browser for iOS. Been waiting for this for way too long ❤️

Better than that, native sideloading is apparently coming to iOS 17 in 2023!

There we are, a real Firefox can be released in the EU and I hope we'd see it soon! 🙂

The changes include more than 600 new APIs, expanded app analytics, functionality for alternative browser engines, and options for processing app payments and distributing iOS apps.
