Q: What is CyberKit and why do I care?

A: Have you had websites refusing to work because your browser is out of date? On iOS, unlike more open platforms, you can’t just update WebKit (Safari’s engine that Apple makes all browsers use) without updating the OS. CyberKit releases install a new browser that doesn’t use system WebKit, so you can browse these sites again!

Q: What’s the difference between MobileMiniBrowser and Fennec?

A: CyberKit MobileMiniBrowser is just about the simplest browser UI in existence. It’s the official browser provided in the WebKit project. CyberKit Fennec is built from the Firefox for iOS source code, modified to use CyberKit instead of system WebKit.

Q: What was the crashing about in CyberKit Fennec v0.0.7 alpha?

A: Sorry about that. It seems I forgot to bundle the internationalization file that v0.0.7 made a requirement.

Q: There are 1GB RAM devices that can run iOS 12. How does CyberKit respond to low memory?

A: I’m afraid it doesn’t handle that well. Hopefully a better degree of support can be provided to these devices, but slowness at minimum is expected behavior to some extent as resources are stretched. You’re welcome to try it out on your device and see it in action though!

Q: I installed your DEB on rootless but it didn’t work?

A: There’s a discussion on GitHub about it, but until a method to increase jetsam limits of an XPC service can be found, you can’t use this.

Q: How do I get it?

A: Please see https://github.com/UInt2048/CyberKit/releases/latest.

Q: You didn’t address my question/comment. Where can I tell you?

A: I’m on Reddit, the decentralized one, and GitHub. I shouldn’t be hard to find.

Q: Can you support my iPod shuffle next?

A: Maybe don’t ask that. But feel free to reach out even just to say it’s working!

    Wonderful, hope this gets usable enough soon!

    I hope I can use this on my iPhone 5s later though it won’t be easy due to it’s incredibly tiny RAM.

    BTW, can we get an ad blocker like uBO on Android Fenix by any chance?

      an ad blocker like uBO on Android Fenix by any chance?

      IMHO not that important due to systemwide ad blockers already existing
