    Firefox, which has most of the desktop extensions also working on mobile.

        That is on Apple, unfortunately. Every browser on the App Store is a safari engine with whatever browsers skin on top, essentially.

          I thought they lost the court battle about that and were told that they had to actually allow other engines, but I haven’t heard anything else since then.

            You might be thinking about the EU court battle, and I believe they did finally allow other engines. I also haven’t kept up with it, so that could be outdated information!

        I believe that apple restricted other browser makers to using safari mobile as a base. Not sure if that’s true/changed, but I’m too lazy to look it up. So maybe take that with a helping of salt.

          This is true in America. In the EU, Apple was recently forced to allow third-party browsers. But even in the EU, developing those third-party browsers will take time and money.

            Thanks! I knew about the EU rule, and I’d heard they’re basically maliciously complying?

            Also, off topic, funny that you replied to this at probably the exact same time I was reading one of your comments in a different thread. Was a really well thought out comment, and I appreciated your take. 👍

              Hah yeah, Lemmy is a much smaller community than Reddit. I have started tagging users, and it’s surprising how often I see the same tags in the comments sections.

                It’s kinda nice, we’re big enough to have a fair amount of content, but small enough that it still kinda feels like a community.
