What is your favourite browser for iPhone or iPad? What features make it your top choice?
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).
Yup…but I use Firefox for the syncing
WebKit. It’s all WebKit.
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.
lol is someone just downvoting anyone who doesn’t use brave? i don’t use brave, come downvote me
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.
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.
Safari
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.
Safari …and FYI every browser on iOS uses Safari’s WebKit.
Brave for sure
safari because it’s the only browser compatible with extensions (I’m using AdGuard with it) and because all the other browsers are basically safari anyways.
I use Firefox Focus as a backup tho
If you’r you have Firefox focus installed, you can just use that as a content blocker
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.
Edge. Only way I found to easily send websites to and from my surface.
Orion Browser which comes with a built-in add blocker.
+1
Been using this on my iPad pro for several months. I love the flexibility for extensions. It’s not perfect but I enjoy the trade offs even if it does randomly slowdown sometimes.
Also using Orion! It’s the only one that’s convinced me it’s better than Safari, primarily because it’s actually more aggressive with power savings than Safari. The implementation to kill idle tab processes almost immediately is very effective imo.
I find Orion to be very laggy, even with very few tabs open. And i just cant use it because of this. Did you find it to act the same for you?
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.
Do Safari extensions work as well as Firefox’s?
I use Safari but if Firefox was like how it is on Android with addons then I’d be using that instead.
Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.
