      Not until apple allows non-webkit browsers like an operating system would. It’s happening but I’m not sure when.

      PS it can only happen because the EU forced them. that’s right, your os maker had to be forced by the government to allow basic computing functionality. Apple is shitty.

        That’s not the reason; Safari and the like still support the WebExtensions API (the same the Firefox uses). They just require extensions to be signed, .app’d, distribute through App Store etc. and maybe only go to Safari which is a lot.

          I read this over and over and it makes no sense to me. Even if you were right, do we really think that FF extension devs are going to make and maintain a completely separate codebase for a iOS-only FF version of each extension? I highly, highly, doubt anyone would do that.

          Then on top of it, yeah, maybe you’d have to kiss Apple’s ass to ever get it installed on a user’s device. In any case, Fuck apple with a cactus.

      I wish… I want Dark Reader… It is a crime that most browsers don’t bundle it, a bigger crime is that websites don’t support this.
