Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

Really? Like you cannot use Firefox or chrome on IOS?

You can use the WebKit (Safari’s engine) wrappers made by Firefox and Chrome - but can’t use truly independent browsers

There's Firefox on iOS, but it's practically a wrapper around Safari. You get your bookmark synchronization, but everything under the hood runs on WebKit.

I have Firefox, Brave and DuckDuckGo on iOS, just no extensions, if you want an external AdBlocker you have to download an app that works at system level
