Chosen solution

iOS is hard-coded to make links from mail open in Safari, so there's nothing you can do about that. :(

Why use another browser?

  • You may prefer the look and feel of another browser
  • It may have features that Safari doesn't have
  • It integrates better with your Firefox data, using Firefox sync.
  • Performance
  • Stability
  • and there's probably more that I can't think of right now. :)
