If this means that they release a iOS version with the same Adblock features as brave then I’m sold. I use essentially all OSs and I want a browser with basic features like adblocking/custom filters on all the platforms and currently Firefox fails this on iOS devices. Still I believe the Firefox sync is much more robust than eg. Brave one , among various platforms. But then I will also need Firefox to fix keyboard shortcuts on Android which they had until the Fenix rebase some years ago and still haven’t fixed since

Same, I'd love for the iOS version to be a little more developed. Especially support for plugins for dark mode and stuff. Safari for iOS does.

Doesn't iOS restrict all browsers to using WebKit?

[Hizonner]

Yep, but your typical Apple user is happy to blame everybody but themselves and Apple.

[ihutgckmig]

Only because your typical non-Apple user is almost always the one trying to enforce non-Apple standards onto Apple hardware and software.

What is the use case for keyboard shortcuts on handheld devices?

On desktops/laptops, keyboard shortcuts save reaching for a mouse, aiming (on the relativley large screen), and clicking. On handhelds, I don't think it's faster to use a shortcut than to simply tap something an inch away.

Also, on handhelds, the keyboard blocks a significant part of the screen. And keyboard shortcuts typically use accelerator keys, which are hard to use on handhelds.

Do you use Android with a physical keyboard?

I use an Android tablet with detachable keyboard and works great also with Samsung DEX if you want something more for basic multitasking and there i want the shortcuts, I actually used it a lot, before firefox switched to Fenix base, for navigating tabs, opening closing them really really smooth but then....

As someone who bought an HTC Dream / Android G1 when it was new, and wishes more handhelds had a similar form factor, this comment depresses me.

Back when Android had an actually pretty and unique UI. Good times.

I have a physical keyboard for my foldable. Works great, except that keyboard shortcuts don't typically work as expected.

[catlikesshrimp]

Yes, I do, now on then. I started using a keyboard on handhelds with my palm m100, so I am not in the mayority.

Could be referring to a physical keyboard attached to an iPad
