The DMA requires Apple to provide access to all hardware and software features required to serve competing apps and services. Browser engines are explicitly mentioned several times, and these require JIT access. It’s going to be interesting to see how they implement that.
Does that mean I will finally get browser plugins on Firefox?
Yes! And Chrome.
Would probably have to be a Firefox Fork. Companies like Mozilla aren't known to officially support Homebrew type setups, despite the fact they support Open Source Software.
Oh really thats neat! Well I hope it comes here in the states or else my current iPhone will probably be the last I'll ever use once the battery degrades enough or it no longer gets support. I really don't want to have to pay 20 dollars for a signing service and a abunch of outdated apps or be tethered to a computer to use JIT ever again and I would rather just use my android phone for everything.
