A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Now, if only iOS would allow true Safari alternatives. 🥲
They'll soon be forced to allow sideloading, in the EU at least. Should open the doors for proper alternative browsers.
They'd still be restricted to the Webkit rendering engine though, right?
If you can sideload anything you want, why would that be the case? I don't think there's a technical limitation, they just don't allow it on the app store if it doesn't use safari.
Oh that's true, I always thought iOS just didn't have that capability at all but that makes sense that it would just be blocked at the App Store level.
