Reynard is an experimental Gecko-based web browser for iOS 13+, bringing the Firefox engine to a platform where third-party browsers are normally restricted to WebKit. It targets users on older iOS versions whose bundled WebKit is outdated and cannot render modern websites.
Use cases
- load modern websites on an old iPhone with outdated WebKit
- use a Firefox/Gecko engine browser on iOS
- run Firefox add-ons on iOS
- sideload a Gecko browser via TrollStore
- get an alternative browser engine without jailbreaking
When to choose
- you are on iOS 13-16.6.1/17.0 with TrollStore and want JIT-enabled Gecko
- your device's WebKit is too old for modern sites
- you want Firefox add-ons or Gecko-exclusive features on iOS
When to avoid
- you want a polished, stable daily browser
- you rely on LiveContainer or certificate-based sideloading
- you need full feature parity with Safari or Firefox desktop
