I doubt it. Safari has 3rd party extensions on iOS and WebKit has all of the important web platform features… in fact, it has pulled ahead of Chrome.

What Apple is avoiding is all of the security issues attempting to support multiple web engines.

Not an Apple guy, but I thought adblocking was not as good on Safari.
