Yes, erroneous. You are wrong. From your own year-and-a-half old, out-dated link:
I suspect that it’ll be a long time until Apple allows Firefox or Opera or any other true Safari rival onto the iPhone; I’d love to be proven wrong, though…
What was the very first browser I list in the alternative browsers available through the Apple app store? OPERA!
Again, as many times before, your own links prove you wrong! Why not READ your so called evidence before making your claims that I don't know what I'm talking about. I OWN THE PRODUCTS. YOU DON'T.
Oh, and I’ve played around with some of the other non-webkit alternative iPhone/iPad browsers. My conclusion is they are not ready for prime time and are not good browsers. I would like to see a FireFox or Chrome iOS browser. . . But they are WebKit based.
Did you check the other links? They completely back up my claims. As did the first one that seems to have gotten a burr under your saddle.
Opera isn’t a ‘browser’ in the traditional sense, in that everything that is rendered is first rendered on Opera’s own servers, then sent down as, essentially, animated GIFs to show on your phone. It’s not a traditional browser at all, but more akin to the older Skyfire browser that was the rage on WinMo about 3 years ago.
So, I still stand by my statement. There aren’t really alternate browsers available on the iPhone. Sure, you can fake one via Opera, but as far as an actual browser? It’s skins or extensions to Safari, only.
Do you know of an actual browser that renders HTML on the iPhone that does NOT use the built-in WebKit and Safari engine? If so, I’ll gladly acknowledge it and recant my claim. Otherwise, my claim stands as is, your statements to the contrary notwithstanding.
Oh, and about owning the products? I suppose you own an Android device as well?
