Reynard brings real Firefox engine to iOS for the first time
Reynard is a new iOS browser that uses the actual Firefox Gecko engine, bypassing Apple's WebKit requirement for the first time. It targets iOS 13 or later and is open-source on GitHub. The project has gained traction on Hacker News with 59 points and 15 comments.

While technically impressive, Reynard's reliance on sideloading or enterprise deployment limits mainstream adoption, making it more a proof-of-concept than a challenger to Safari.
