Apple Just Made a Huge Change to Safari Extensions on iPhone

iOS 26 quietly removes one of the biggest barriers to bringing browser add-ons to iPhone and iPad. Indie teams and solo devs can submit standards-based WebExtensions from the web portal, test on real devices via TestFlight, and iterate without spinning up Xcode for every change. The result should be faster ports from Chrome and Firefox and a broader catalog of useful add-ons on mobile Safari.
