Since Apple implemented a browser choice screen for iPhones earlier this month to comply with Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Brave Software, Mozilla, and Vivaldi have seen a surge in the number of people installing their web browsers.

It’s an early sign that Europe’s competition rules may actually … get this … enhance competition – an outcome that skeptics deemed unlikely.

      ⋮ --> Settings --> Customize --> Scroll down to gestures --> Swipe toolbar sideways to switch tabs

      At least this is for android. It may be identical for iOS?

        There’s no Gesture section at all on iOS, checked both in the in-app settings as well as the app settings in the Settings app. Honestly the settings page is a bit of a travesty in terms of UX design. There’s a “Theme” section that when clicked, takes you to an on/off switch for “Use system theme” and nothing else. Why not just have the switch directly on the main settings page? Maybe under its own subsection, but not a completely different page?

        I installed Firefox on my Pixel 6 (work phone, pretty much only use it for Teams and two authenticator apps), and it’s a completely different experience.

        The iOS version wastes a lot of space, and there’s a lot less room for customisation.

        On Android the setting was under Settings > Customise which by itself has a decent amount of settings.

        And the iOS settings page, slightly scrolled down to hide my email address, looks like this (imgur link).
