Apple Pay could be compatible with other browsers in the new version of the operating system. Steve Moser, a contributor to MacRumors, found that Apple Pay can be used with Edge and Chrome in the newest version of the mobile operating system.

The "continue with Apple Pay" option can be found on Apple's checkout page. If you want to use Apple Pay when shopping on the web, you'll have to use a browser that's compatible with Apple Pay, because it's only possible in the older version of the iPad.

On the latest iOS 16 beta Apple Pay works in Edge, Chrome and I assume any third party browser. On iOS 15 Apple Pay only works in Safari. pic.twitter.com/x7zV5xCuiC

Other users noticed that Apple Pay was compatible with the browser before the release of the newest version of the mobile operating system. There is an option to pay with Apple Pay in the latest version of the mobile operating system. There is an option to pay with Apple Pay on Mozilla's website, according to another user. We don't know when Apple began supporting Apple Pay and which browsers. Apple didn't reply immediately.

Apple Pay is not available in the latest version of the operating system. The reason for this is that all of the browsers use the same rendering engine, WebKit, on the iPad. Third-party browsers are free to use their own engines on macOS, so we might not see support for Apple Pay outside ofSafari on Macs any time soon.

The European Union is cracking down on big tech's anticompetitive practices. When the Digital Markets Act goes into effect in the spring of 2023, it will impose a set of rules on large companies to encourage competition with smaller entities. The Register obtained a draft of the new legislation that targets companies that force developers to use their own rendering engines. The company isn't likely to go down without a fight because it incurred millions in fees before complying with the Netherlands' rules on in-app payment systems.
