Yes as of a few releases ago (but not originally) iOS allows JIT for WKWebView.<p>But no, the result of a bit of chrome (historical name for browser controls) around a WKWebView is indeed just a Safari skin. The renderer is not some minor detail like how tcp connections are made, it&#x27;s practically the whole thing! It handles the http&#x2F;https&#x2F;websocket connections, the html, css, js, html5 video and audio, canvas, webgl, webrtc (or lack thereof), pointer events, everything that matters.<p>- user of firefox on linux and on android, who never &quot;signs in&quot; to his browser chrome, or saves passwords in the browser, or other ill-advised but marketer-loved things<p>- also developer working on a webrtc application, who has had to explain to users &quot;Chrome on iOS isn&#x27;t actually Chrome, sorry&quot;
