Sadly Firefox on iPhone doesn’t translate [human languages]. I don’t want to use Chrome on iPhone and Firefox on PC because synchronising bookmarks and history is too important to give up.

All browsers on iPhones are skins for Safari.

Blame Apple for that bullshit.

This one isn’t on Apple. There’s nothing stopping Firefox from having translate on iPhone. It’s on Chrome and Edge.

Isn’t translation feature available as an addon? Afaik iPhone version of Firefox doesn’t have addons.

I don’t own an iPhone, but this seems like a totally fair criticism and I don’t see any replies refuting it, so what’s with all the downvotes? I swear to god this place is ridiculous sometimes, these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software. Only positive feedback allowed!

because this is inherently Apple’s fault and not Mozilla’s.

Apple’s the one forcing every browser on iOS to be a reskinned version of Safari. And it’s perfectly understandable that Mozilla doesn’t want to waste time and resources developing features for a Firefox-branded Safari when they could be working on their own browser.

What’s your point? The dude gave a perfectly valid reason to not using Firefox, regardless of who’s fault it is.

But also, how on earth would building a functional browser for a phone that owns 55% of the US market share be a waste of time and resources?

I am also confused. I didn’t know phone browsers were a team sport, but here we are.

No, Firefox on iPhone doesn’t translate [human languages]. I don’t want to use Chrome on iPhone and Firefox on PC because they don’t sync between each other.
