In iOS or ipadOS browsers like chrome or Firefox are just visual skins of safari. The TOS for devs, doesn't allow them to use their own engine, only a webview

Thanks. What's the point of a Firefox skin? Except as a sign of political protest?? That closed iOS app world is becoming more frustrating. I assume it is not worth the effort for Firefox to build a new Apple approved app, because it may be pulled with any new Apple rule or policy, and Apple may not want Firefox period?

For me, it's the ability to have Firefox Sync, Firefox's tracking blocker (although ad blocking isn't available unfortunately), and the familiar visual UI of Firefox.

It's not literally a "skin", Firefox on iOS is actually a separate Apple-approved app. It's just that they're forced to embed the Safari engine rather than using Gecko for it.
