You can't install different browsers in iOS.

From normal user perpective you can, but technically you can’t. Tough comparison for politics.

You can't install different browsers at all? Or do you mean you can't set them as default?

You can install different browsers and set them as defaults but all of the browsers on iOS must use webkit.

Are you sure...? I've been using Firefox as my default browser on iOS for awhile now.

It's Safari (WkWebView) dressed up as Firefox. That's all Apple lets them do.

As in Firefox is not rendering content with Gecko, it's rendering via WebKit?

Yes. You aren't allowed alternate browser engines on iOS. Every browser in the App Store is Safari wrapped in different skins.
