If you miss the word "Web" in the title:
It allowed that since iOS 17.4, but 18.2 will also allow these apps to as Home Screen icons/PWAs.
I've yet to find a browser for iOS with a custom engine though.
Yeah, still waiting for my Firefox + ublock on iOS, guess I’ll have to wait until my iPad dies and buy an Android tablet instead.
That's part of the problem. I had seen on a thread where someone was asking if that would mean a mobile version of a browser, the response from some of the devs was "no for now" seeing as it is only the EU and that it would be a lot of work to do for a small portion of a potential user base.
@narc0tic_bird @Sunshine only in the EU, thankfully.
