Firefox Nova Colours on iOS should be customisable

The purple URL bar and button text option introduced with Nova should be customisable or remain in line with phone UI settings.

I’ve been a Firefox user for many years now (on iOS and on desktop), and although I mostly make peace with UI updates of various products that I use being out of my control, I find the clash between iOS colours and new Firefox Nova colours grating. The text I highlight on webpages remains blue because of iOS restrictions, but the highlight on the URL bar is a new pastel violet shade. The toggle switches are now also purple, as are other examples of interactive text.

A browser should, in my opinion be a canvas or a frame for the usage of the internet. Interactive elements are blue for a reason: because they are recognisable as being interactive through their colourway.

Is there an alternative iOS browser that is like Firefox but remains in line with iOS schemes? Is it possible to make the colour customisable or is there a limitation? Most of the discussion I see is surrounding desktop users, but what about us mobile users?
