Gecko on iOS 17.4 and newer in European Union

[vuurvos]

As browsers with alternative engines are now allowed on iPhones & iPads due to the DMA in the European Union, I would like to request that a Firefox version with the Gecko engine be developed or released as soon as possible.

Yeah this together with tab grouping on iOS so I can finally ditch safari would be awesome!

FF on IOS with add-ons would make it my default browser again

Yes. Though I decided to leave Apple after 40 years completely , because IOS starts to become the most unusable and unintuitive OS  , I know  a.t.m. ,it would be nice to see a working IOS Mozilla browser based on Gecko. Actually Firefox for my ipadpro is more a browser joke , like all other webkit based garbage.

I would be actually willing to pay for that!

Be the privacy compagny you say you are, come on you can do this Mozilla!

I would definitely set Firefox as my default browser. i love Firefox Sync and even used the paid VPN product and would be willing to pay something to get Firefox with gecko on iOS.

Any updates on this? I'd love to use a "real" Firefox on iOS, but the issues and discussions have been pretty quiet for a couple of months.

WebKit has a bunch of weird rendering issues on all kinds of websites - some responsive sites scroll a cm to the side, scrolling in some dropdown-menus is not possible, horizontal lists don't scroll, etc. But since everything is WebKit, there's no way to escape these issues.
