I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

What year do you think it is right now?

Is there a point you'd like to make?

One could ask you the same thing and it would be a more appropriately directed question. Chrome hasn't been WebKit for literally years.

Except they couldn't because I made the point. Whereas you asked a random question.

Chrome hasn't been WebKit for literally years.

Yes it has. And yes it is. A quick web search will clear that up for you. All browsers on iOS use the Safari WebKit engine.

No shit Sherlock. If you made the same observation about Firefox it would be just as dumb. The whole point of this post is that other rendering engines van be ported to iOS now. It doesn't matter one little bit what Apple forced yesterday and it certainly doesn't mean Blink is WebKit today.

Oh look, a link from the quick Google search you didn't do:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)

In gonna go ahead and block you now though, have a nice day.

LOL what do you mean "no shit"? This contradicts what you were saying moments ago...
