both the iOS 26.6.1 and iOS 18.7.10 updates patch serious issues in WebKit, the engine that underpins Apple’s Safari browser. They land nearly three weeks after iOS 26.6 patched 90 issues. No iOS 18 update was released at the time.

"The iOS 26.6.1 update fixes three flaws in the iPhone Kernel and nearly 20 in WebKit."

Boynton also calls out the sheer number of fixes in WebKit, which he calls “one of the largest attack surfaces on the platform.”

It wouldn't be, if Apple would allow other browsers to use their own rendering engines.

You can sideload this gecko browser called reynard browser, it's not that hard to sideload if you have a laptop or pc you can connect your phone to.

It worked fine in my ios 18.5, sometimes even better than webkit browsers lol, I used it alongside orion. If I remember correctly it did glitch when I activated JIT but I am not sure if it even supported 18.5 idk.

I used lara to sideload more than 3 apps with free dev license but that doesn't extend to all versions ofc there is sidestore + livecontainer for best sideloading but it still is not the best. And stickdebug for JIT and also GPS spoofing apparently and idk what else.
