In Europe, Apple has been forced to allow sideloading. So you could have an iPhone without any Google apps on it, and sideload stuff like that. In the US, not so much.
As an aside, I use an iPhone without any Google apps, which is technically “degoogled”. Doesn’t stop people in this community from claiming I fail their purity tests though.
Has anyone ever managed to sideload a browser that isn't just Apple Safari with another skin?
