What is your favourite browser for iPhone or iPad? What features make it your top choice?

      As long as Apple forces webKit for browsing, any third party browser will more or less be a safari wrapper. Until that changes, I will keep using safari in iOS.

    Safari because all other “browsers” are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

      I don’t know why you’re being down voted. You’re right. Other than other browsers like Brave having built in adblocking and being able to sync with desktop Firefox for example, there is literally no difference in terms of performance.

        People don’t like hearing the truth but who am I to judge. Let them live in a bubble and think that downloading a different browser changes anything. It’s just Safari with extra steps (and maybe a little bit more features).

  • Safari.

    I love the tab bar to the moon and back. Every other browser is just Safari with an asterisk, since Apple makes everybody use WebKit.

    I don’t use Chrome on any of my devices, so I’m not worried about missing out on sync. The fewer Google products I use, the better.

    Yeah it’s definitely Safari for me, most of the time. I do switch to Brave whenever I want to watch YouTube though, since it actually blocks ads there.

      Also Safari. The only issue I have is the auto page zoom cuts off the right side slightly. Very minor but still bothers me. I filed a bug on it over on the lemmy-ui GitHub project.

    Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.

    Safari. Nothing else has enough unique features to feel worth it. I use Arc on Mac but the iPhone app is missing too many features. Also, it’s lack of support for 2FA from passkeys (prob not their fault) and some other small features make me consider switching back to safari on Mac. I’d miss adblockers though.

    Safari, only because of the extensions. I like being able to use custom ad block filters and userscripts.

      Yeah. Extensions are a must have and the reason I use Safari on iOS, even though I use Firefox everywhere else.

    Used to use firefox until it somehow became shit and was forced to change to safari. Super annoying. Used to be a great app.
