    Their browser is webkit on iOS since apple doesn't allow anything else on that platform. The mac version is also webkit. And the android version is - you guess it - blink, the engine used by chromium.

    Doesn’t allow anything else on that platform yet*. Apple should be dropping the webkit requirement pretty soon and google and mozilla are already working on ios ports of their engines.

    I think i heard a more definitive source as well since this one is a few months old that it should be coming with ios17.

    Yeah I just googled and found that. Only problem is that it's been 6 months and not a peep since. This is more of a policy piece than software (I think). Any reason why that capability would be tied to an os release?

    What about Opera GX? The mobile and Desktop versions.

    The enshittification of Opera sucks... I used to like them when they had their own Presto rendering engine. I heard Vivaldi is the spiritual successor, but it, too, is based on Chromium.

    Vivaldi isn't just the spiritual successor, it's built by the guy who made the original Opera. Its baked in Ad and Tracker blocking rival UBO and it has all the features Fox can only hope to barely emulate with Mozilla extensions.

    I've got FF loaded up and set up how I like, but I won't be switching over until Vivaldi doesn't perform correctly.

    I'm not sure I did exactly what you intended but I searched it in the address/search bar and it gives me this output.

    "Your user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/6.1.3035.257"

    At first I thought I did it wrong, since I got an output for basically every browser engine on the market. Does the order matter? I'm just a network engineer I don't know much about systems beyond building hardware and installing/managing Windows and some PnP Linux Distros.

    I believe duck duck go sources their results from Google somehow. For whatever that's worth

    And I thought yahoo got it's results from Google too... I probably have no idea though.

    That’s a search engine, chrome and Firefox are the browser. You can use duck duck go from either.

    I haven’t heard anything negative about them yet.
