Mention of specific platform requirements in short description

[edit]

"However, as with all other iOS web browsers, the iOS version uses the WebKit layout engine instead of Gecko due to platform requirements. "

Should we move this part into a more relevant section, perhaps Firefox for mobile? I agree that it is notable, but not enough to be part of the article's short description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.18.90 (talk) 01:06, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
