On desktop I am using Firefox since I can remember. The main reason being the good add-on support and the privacy friendly image of the browser. Although there might be better solution to keep my own data privat, Firefox always felt like the sweet spot between privacy and usability. Now I am using an iPhone and first thing I did, was to install Firefox. But after I learned that all browsers on iOS have to use the WebKit engine, I am wondering what difference it makes to use Firefox there. Is it on iOS more like a skin for Safari, or how much does ist affect the inner workings of the browser? What are the biggest differences?

If the iOS Firefox is like the Android version with addon support after this, I’d be extremely satisfied.
Ya, its like every week there’s a new WebKit-based exploit that can turn your phone into a sleeper cell or whatever. Its scary and insane we have to tolerate forced vulnerabillity because of this weird anti-competitive rule
nice, any idea how long until that arrives?
Good to know. Is there already some kind of schedule, when the new Engine will be implemented?

That’s great to hear! As much ss I like to bash Apple sometimes, this is a great step and I really appreciate this change
