I don’t expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it’s nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

      Right. Like Apple’s webkit is just the reskinned KDE browser?

      For now, but the EU will force Apple to allow non-WebKit engines on iOS. At which point only Google will have enough money to spare porting an entire engine to a small market.

      What year do you think it is right now?

          One could ask you the same thing and it would be a more appropriately directed question. Chrome hasn’t been WebKit for literally years.

              No shit Sherlock. If you made the same observation about Firefox it would be just as dumb. The whole point of this post is that other rendering engines van be ported to iOS now. It doesn’t matter one little bit what Apple forced yesterday and it certainly doesn’t mean Blink is WebKit today.

              Oh look, a link from the quick Google search you didn’t do:

              In gonna go ahead and block you now though, have a nice day.
