I’m fairly certain there are other browsers on iOS. Like Firefox and chrome.

There are other browsers but they’re all forced to use the Apple browser engine, so Chrome on iOS is WebKit-based, for example.

No, I'm saying the great famine is no more Britain's fault than the opium wars are the Chinese people's fault.
