I don't see it on mobile though.
On Android or iOS? I’m pretty sure the iOS app is just a re-skinned Safari, isn’t it?
It is!? Noooooooo! TIL
All iOS browsers are webkit under the hood (aka “reskinned safari”)
Yep. It's a choice Apple users make^[probably unknowingly, to be fair] when they choose Apple.
To be fair to most people who use phones, I don't think they understand what a browsing engine is, let alone a browser half the time. I got my family to use Firefox, and they don't know it's a browser either.
