      Why would being WebKit based make it bad? Because it supports the web engine duopoly?

        On an iPhone in specific it means there’s no real difference between them beyond mostly the cosmetic. It’s not just that it’s WebKit, it’s that it’s WebKit that’s also behind Apple’s walled garden.

        Firefox that doesn’t render with gecko isn’t really Firefox, is it? I mean I get that Mozilla endorses the app, but it’s not the same Firefox as it would be almost anywhere else.

          As I mentioned above, it’s quite snappier than safari and even Firefox. It’s clear that they’ve worked on performance.

            That’s not my point. My point is that all iOS browsers are essentially the same browser because they’re forced to be.
