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
