Comment on Ask HN: Why are there so many shady browsers in the iOS App Store?

Comments

"They’re mostly a reskin of Safari": Every browser on iOS is has to use Safari, it's the only browser engine allowed on iOS and iPadOS.

There's a lot of garbage, and even plain malware, on the app store, despite Apple's claims about security and privacy.

I do wonder why all those different "private browsers" were created in the first place. They must see some gap in Apples marketing claims of privacy, or they see an opportunity in some users distrust of Apple.
