Description
Reynard is a Gecko-based mobile web browser for iOS 13+.
Unlike other browsers on iOS that are forced to use Apple's WebKit engine (including Safari and all third-party browsers), Reynard uses Gecko. This is the same engine that powers the Firefox browser on desktop and Android devices.
This is mainly for users on older iOS versions who are stuck with an outdated version of WebKit. Because WebKit is bundled with the OS, these devices cannot receive engine updates and often fail to load modern websites. By using Gecko which is kept up to date independently, Reynard allows these sites to work again. Users on newer iOS versions can also use the browser if they want an alternative browser engine on their device.

### Improvements
• Scrolling on webpages is now smoother and more accurate.
• Improved audio handling, with better echo cancellation, voice processing, recovery after interruptions, and handling of audio device changes.
### Bug Fixes
• Fixed an issue where keyboard shortcuts would not be recognized by websites after using Find in Page or a <select> element.
• Fixed an issue where the image preview and its actions would not work on certain images, such as those requiring authentication or in the WebP format.
• Fixed an issue where tapping the status bar to scroll to the top would not scroll completely to the top of the webpage when using the top address bar.
