European iPhone owners are being shown a new pop-up screen listing alternatives to the Safari browser. The developers of the browsers shown on that screen are torn about the user experience.

    You can choose brave or firefox. Or maybe you are not too much privacy concious then vivaldi also a good choice. I think these are better than using other browsers from outside store. Maybe thats too a reason why iphone is so smooth and fast.

      That isn’t the point, it is not that you can select a browser, it’s about that you can select only an another browser after selecting Safari, not in the first setup in a new iPhone (smooth and fast?WTF, every phone in this priceclass is, maybe even more)

      Why would Vivaldi be for “not too much privacy concious”?

            Under the hood, the engine is the exact same engine that powers Chrome. They didn’t fork it, it’s Chromium.

              Chromium isn’t proprietary, it’s open source.

                Yeah, Chromium is not proprietary. It is a free and open-source software project developed and maintained by Google.

                But vivaldi is absolutely proprietary as it’s not open-source.

        Because Vivaldi is a closed source web browser.
