> contain the 12 most popular browsers from its App Store

So it will just be giving them a choice between the existing browsers (that use webkit) in the store?

Will new browser engines eventually make it to iOS for EU users?

Yes, but Apple _just_ announced yesterday the criteria and plans for that. I doubt any browser makers (except maybe Chrome?) have their browser ready to go and it uses new APIs so they would still have some work to do.

I'd be surprised if Mozilla doesn't have a Firefox build ready.

That’s how I interpreted as well, with zero new info or plans regarding alternate browser engines on iOS.

You mean 0 new plans or info outside the new plans and info laid out on Apple’s development website:
