      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.

      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 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

    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.

    Firefox is my favorite browser. Best feature is the sync, which let’s me access everything on my phone, personal laptop and work laptop.

      Interesting, I’ve had major website loading issues on Firefox for iOS for some reason. I keep wanting to love it, but websites will just fail to load and I end up switching back to Safari

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

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

    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, but waiting on Vivaldi to get out of beta/testflight.
    I use the Vivaldi browser everywhere and would be nice to have it on iOS to.

      I’m eager to see what Vivaldi’s iOS browser ends up being. I’ve flipped back and forth on desktop between Firefox and Vivaldi a lot. I always end up back on Firefox just for “screw chromium” resins, but Vivaldi gets used for Google Hangouts for “silly work” reasons. A good mobile app could push me back to Vivaldi on the desktop.

    Firefox Focus if it’s just a one-off thing. Firefox if I want to keep track of it. I use Firefox everywhere though.

    @TwinTurbo Safari all the way. You can adjust the font and scaling without losing the orginal way the site your visting is on. Love that. currently on android though
