> On iOS there are no web browsers other than Safari, per the app store rules. "Chrome" / "Firefox" / etc on iOS are just basically skins on top of Webkit.

> See 2.5.6 here - https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

> This is why you don't get any of the features / extensions / etc of Chrome or Firefox on iOS.
