Please point where in my post I made this claim before making accusations.

I know for a fact that Firefox uses WebKit as a rendering engine on iOS. I'm just responding to the claim that "On iOS, Chrome is Safari" and "what they allow is reskinned versions of Safari, which is basically a way to allow Chrome and Firefox to save face and support bookmarks-syncing".

I have given one example where Firefox behaves differently than Safari on iOS, and my experience was further validated by another iOS user who had never been able to use the system until I suggested they try Firefox.

I have seen other websites that behave subtly different between the browsers. Orion is another example of a browser that behaves quite differently on iOS despite also using WebKit - which they also use on the desktop apps and those also behave differently from desktop Safari.
