TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Itâs my understanding too that third-party browsers must use the systemâs
Apple WebKit rendering engine. This has always been the case in iOS, at
least partly, for security considerations.
Therefore, third-party browsers cannot differentiate themselves from each
other based on fundamental technical/engine-related features.
Differentiating feature are exclusively related to UI/UX, such as separate
user account (within the app), guest mode, bookmark sync, etc. afaik.
