Legit the only reason I don't use iPhone is due to being forced to use Safari (or Safari rendering engine wrapped)
can't you set a default browser to something else?
So if you're using Chrome or Firefox on iOS, the rendering is not handled by Blink or Gecko, respectively, it's handled by WebKit.

Very convincing, thank you for this well argued response.

No. Chrome is perpetually in Fire and Motion.

I really wish Safari would go away and Mozilla would switch to a full featured Chromium with everything enabled (But user-toggle-able). Browser diversity isn't work2 as advertised. It's just Google inventing things that other companies only get a year later, or totally reject. Mozilla needs to start trusting its users to have access to features like Google does, and Apple needs to allow third party browsers without W…

I was following this and it did seem to appear in the beta -- I'm not sure whether it has been removed in the GA version listed here, or if they simply haven't mentioned it since it's perhaps a browser rather than WebKit feature? ... I assume WebKit has had support for this for a long time, since Safari on macOS has long supported push notifications. https://firt.dev/ios-15.4b

Every so often I daydream about a magical web browser with my preferred settings: [x] Block javascript popups and scrollovers [x] Block newsletter and notification solicitations [x] Really block all forms of auto-playing video in a way that actually works
A „JavaScript popup“ is indistinguishable from a div (or other block element) or its visibility being toggled.

Safari is ahead in implementing things like :has() and the new Viewport Units.
I’m still waiting for regex lookbehinds, a ES2018 syntax that I can’t use. Literally Safari does not execute the whole file if you use such regex literals.

Safari on iPhone is by far the fastest mobile browsing experience you can get. Are there extensions or web features you need that Safari doesn’t have?
Safari on my iPhone is basically unusable. Refreshes the page constantly; swipe back a page and it refreshes; scroll down long enough and it refreshes. Then there's Reddit - crashes constantly, literally will not load comments. It does this with and without extensions.
Reddit is its shitshow and I ended up installing Apollo. This is not Safari’s fault.
Worst browser especially it is impossible to debug in windows.
