Hey BKrnk

To add one point of clarification:

Because here you have the possibility to simulate other browsers on the website.

This isn't what 1Browser was doing when changing the user agent setting. All it was doing is lying to the sites you visit about which browser it was. Instead of saying "Hey, I'm Safari on iOS" it would say "Hey, I'm Firefox on macOS" (or whatever you'd selected). It wasn't doing any emulation. The only rendering engine available on iOS is Safari's (WebKit).

Apple’s App Store policies state: "Apps that browse the web must use the iOS WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript."
