Which is WAY better than Firefox for IOS.

You mean Firefox branded Safari (not a dig at Mozilla).

It is Apple’s fault, but the EU’s DMA will force Apple to allow alternative engines. However this raises many doubts: - Will Apple just allow every browser in the App Store or they’ll manage to use side load (which they’ll also be forced to allow) as the only way to comply? (Probably not legal but i expect them to try, would vastly limit an App’s user base as demonstrated by Android). - In the best scenario, wich is Apple letting Mozilla put the full Firefox in the App Store, would they be interested at all to port Gecko to iOS?
