Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France: Brave saw a similar increase in users after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.

Firefox spokesperson Christopher Hilton tells The Verge that the browser has seen a more than 50 percent jump in users in Germany and a nearly 30 percent increase in France.

Brave saw a similar increase in users after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.

Browsers can now run their own rendering engines, which are sandboxed at the app level.

System-level HTML, like web apps on the home screen, are still using WebKit.

Which is how it should have been from the start.

So are we allowed to use all extensions on Firefox? Is it same as Firefox on Andriod?

Mozilla would have to update the iOS app to both run their engine and accept their plugins.

But it will never be like the Android app because the iOS app will still be sandboxed and not allowed to run code outside of itself.
