Firefox exists in name as a thin wrapper over the Apple iOS WebKit engine. I personally don't think that counts, although it's arguable I guess.

There is no Tor Browser for iOS. There is an alternative, but it is notably hacky and flawed, due to iOS itself. The app also originally cost money in an attempt to recoup Apple's developer licensing costs, before becoming free in 2017.

(IMO, this paints a picture of antagonism between Apple vs its users having nice things in general.)

AltStore (classic) is something I've tried, but it's incredibly janky and painfully limited and, last I checked, kinda costs money every month. ?AltStore PAL operates only in Europe and at the express allowance of Apple itself.)

Again the antagonism of Apple against the iOS user rears its ugly head:

Apps installed with AltStore expire after 7 days, at which point they can no longer be opened...

Due to restrictions by Apple, you can only have 3 sideloaded apps installed on a device at a time.

And the file system with Apple iOS is not something I have a lot of experience with, but my expectations are below sea level...

If you're expecting anything remotely like an Android experience on Apple's devices, you're going to have a horrible time. Anything even vaguely resembling your own file system, or non-Apple browsing engine, or alternative app store is basically nonexistent. And the way Apple squeezes indie developers means you've got less choice between decent apps even if you look on their store.

Among other missing apps, you get no Syncthing, no Firefox, no Tor Browser, nothing remotely like F-Droid or Obtainium...

... And as far as I can tell, there's no such thing as an alternative to the Apple App Store (which mandates an identity and a signin), which isn't also run by Apple...

Where does one find the source code for DFD? Mozilla heavily implies it is open-source ("comparison with other open source models", "Github available here") but the best I could find was a precompiled binary blob here.

Looks like Mozilla really bought into the controversial (read: ethically incorrect) definition of "open source AI" that better describes "freeware."
