Google and Mozilla are working on iOS browsers that break current App Store rules

Companies like Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft have versions of their web browsers on Apple's iOS and iPadOS App Stores, but these versions come with a big caveat: The App Store rules require them to use Safari's WebKit rendering engine rather than the engines those browsers use in other operating systems.

But that could be changing. According to The Register, Google and Mozilla have recently been spotted working on versions of Chromium and Firefox that use their normal Blink and Gecko rendering engines, respectively.

This only makes sense. It's very likely the rules around browser engines is going to go away, so I'm glad the competition is getting ready for this inevitability. If for some reason I'm ever forced at gunpoint to use iOS, I'd at least have access to real Firefox.
