I have an iPhone, and I have recently been using Brave. Firefox is a favorite.

I’m trying Arc browser right now, quite cool with support for firefox and chrome extensions, but the extensions all broke after a week. Crummy experience. Brave is the best AFAIK.

I’ve been using Orion. A bit buggy but it offers proper extension support, including ublock origin (it supports Firefox and chrome extensions)

Does it matter on an iPhone? Unless something changed, Apple only allows reskins of Safari.

Well it matters for everything but the rendering engine. Some browsers have extensions, others don’t. Some have poor usability like Chrome and others like Arc work way better.

It matters somewhat, in that you may be able to sync things between mobile and desktop if you use the ios version of your desktop browser

Kinda Brave/firefox can keep a lot of ads from bogging down things.

Honestly none. My favorite android browser would be kiwi but it’s not exactly actively maintained which feels very insecure. I’m currently using firefox but it’s nothing like its desktop equivalent.

I use Mull. Unsure if it’s on iPhone though.
