European iPhone owners are being shown a new pop-up screen listing alternatives to the Safari browser. The developers of the browsers shown on that screen are torn about the user experience.

Did mozilla manage to compile a version of firefox without webkit for iphones already? Or is it still a webkit wrapper?

Does that actually do anything?

Dunno yet. Probably depends on the outcome of current legal cases against commercial AI companies. Github/Microsoft was sued for example because of CoPilot being accused of using GPL licensed code without adhering to the provisions therein.

Does the Lemmy ToS not have something about having the rights to the stuff you post?

Which federated server owns it? (Seriously not being snarky, just adding mud to the puddle).

I don’t believe there’s any issue actually building the app. However, the app store policies forbid them from shipping it or offering it as a side-loadable option.

Probably the EU will have something to say about that. Hopefully Malus gets another nice fine for that.

Only in the EU the browser companies can use their own engine in iOS, in the USA they only can use Apple WebCrapKit
