So install a 3rdparty browser like chrome or firefox and use it instead of Safari? No?

Those aren’t real browsers with theirs engines. It can be describing like those are more just skins.

I don’t understand. My apologies are you saying Google Chrome or Firefix etc.. are not the legit versions of those browsers on iOS? Just reskinned Safari browser?

More like reskinned engine of Apple, but the end result is very much same. Apple is limiting its environment very hard.

That really is unfortunate then but with Apple not surprising. I recall Microsoft tried something similar back in Windows 95 by limiting 3rdparty browser performance(well maybe not quite the same) back during Netscape€Now known as Mozilla Firefox). MS was slapped hard for it in courts and by web d…

It wouldn’t be ideal. but could an idea like using some kind if Website browser be used as a go between? Kind of like how ppl use Tor? As maybe a compatibility layer in this case?

Apple require all browsers on iOS to use Apple WebKit. I would guess that Discourse source could be adjusted to allow login yet still make it read only (since that appears to be required to prevent things appearing in the browser that it would not be able to handle).

Really too bad Apple has designs to force there customers to upgrade. Android can be a pain at times but there are options available. Glad I never got sucked into i device eco system. And likely too much hassle for users in this case to try snd install a linux os on there aging devices. As Apple…

Well, the backward compatibility issue is quite often discussed and and is no go. Read only with limited functionality is only what Discourse offers when browsers/OS is passed end of life/support. If someone can code such layer that’s fine but I’m totally sure CDCK doesn’t support it. It is a bit l…

@codev what are the minimum browser requirements for “full featured,” currently? (Sorry I’m not sure where this is posted/published)

这并不理想，但像使用某种网站浏览器作为中间件这样的想法是否可行？有点像人们使用 Tor 的方式？

在这种情况下，也许可以作为兼容层？
