What is your favourite browser for iPhone or iPad? What features make it your top choice?
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.
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.
Which instance? I’m on Lemmy.world and using the webapp and no problems.
Every instance. My issue was marked as fixed today in 0.17.4-40 so hopefully it will be available soon.
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
Firefox. Google never.
Yep, Firefox for me as well on all devices.
How do you deal with ads? I’m running Adguard on my device but from experience it only seems to work in Safari :/
I use firefox focus as a content blocker. Works well
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
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. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.
Firefox Focus if it’s just a one-off thing. Firefox if I want to keep track of it. I use Firefox everywhere though.
Safari here as well. Haven’t found a compelling reason to switch thus far.
lol is someone just downvoting anyone who doesn’t use brave? i don’t use brave, come downvote me
Firefox. Even though it doesn’t have all the nice privacy and, particularly, ad-blocking capabilities as on other platforms, I use it for those reasons on my Android and Windows devices, so I like having it all synced.
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?
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.
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 for syncing with my other devices, but all the iOS web browsers are different skins over WebKit. I do like that Safari has support for extensions and wish Apple would allow other browsers to utilize them as well.
