Yeah that's never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.

One of the many reasons I'm so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years

The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.

But browsers aren't app stores?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Just put the browser in an alternative app store then 😎

Where do you install browsers from?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

On iOS? I don't. I guess it shows.

I thought the EU already forced them under the Digital Markets Act to allow alternative browser engines outside of Webkit on iOS.

Likely will happen whenever Apple starts to allow sideloading, probably next year at around March.
