Ask HN: Do you know of any plans to port other browser engines to iOS?

Only the other two of the big 3. Firefox is not happy that they still have to build the fakebrowser for the rest of the world.

google blink|geeko & apple webkit are past the point of no return.

The long term management of this issue is to restore noscript/basic (x)html interop of online services where reasonable.

Are you just looking for opportunities to post the exact string "noscript/basic (x)html" every day?

This is only one side of managing the issue, the others are regulation for interop with actually simple, but good enough, stable in time protocols (noscript/basic (x)html for the web, but you have smtp and irc in the pipeline too), and legal of course.
