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 It targets users on older iOS versions whose bundled WebKit is outdated and cannot render modern websites.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  • load modern websites on an old iPhone with outdated WebKit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
