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

      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

    You’re on iPhone… They’re all the same Safari/WebKit browsers.

    Unless you’re a EU user?

      That’s kinda my understanding as well.

      Brave/Firefox, although basically reskins, help keep ads at bay.

    I like Firefox Focus.

    Every time you close the app (swipe up on the app switcher) or use the trash button it cleans every bit of cached or stored data including cookies, so every time you open it you have a fresh browsing session and it’s harder to be followed around the web.

    Obviously inconvenient for banking or the like, so I also have Firefox (regular) installed which stores my login sessions.

      I forgot to mention a fringe benefit of Firefox Focus: I feel like it forces me to do a better job of not just opening a webpage and telling myself I’ll read it later (I never do). Since the session is ephemeral and the webpage will be gone if I don’t read it right away, I actually get down to reading the articles more often.

      This may also be a side effect of Lemmy, though, since there’s less content here than on reddit.

    Was using DDG browser for awhile after Firefox. Started recently using Safari Privacy mode plus Wipr, an ad blocking extension, one time fee but the developer is privacy focused. Ad block test gets 100 score vs 70 on DDG or Firefox. Other peeps mention already but all browsers are just front ends for Safari on iOS, as far as I understand.
