Doesn't every browser on Apple hardware use Safari for rendering?

macOS is a desktop OS. It has a terminal, it lets you download that sketchy .app file from a random website, and it allows browsers to use their own engines. So, not too different from Windows or Linux.

You are correct for iOS and iPadOS though. They must use the WebKit rendering engine. All browsers on those are just Safari reskins.

So it's just an iOS thing, got it.

Still weird, I truly yearn for the Linux Phone

Yeah, but too much Google involved

[-] SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Fair, you can always degoogle it though.

On iOS and iPadOS they do but not on MacOS to my knowledge
