Description

i was thinking about the comment by @trymeouteh from this issue: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/56#issuecomment-422142350

agreed that Apple doesn't allow non-safari-webkit browsers on iOS.

But I think there may still be merit to such a project, as developers would be able to compile and side-load it themselves, and anyone with jailbroken device could conceivably install it ...
