    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).

      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.

    Always end back on safari. Solid privacy defaults while still working perfectly for most websites.
    Other browsers, like Orion, keeps stopping important websites from working

    Currently I use safari and duckduckgo. I’m waiting for apple to allow other browsers to actually use their own software rather than basically be safari in new clothes and without access to extensions. Sadly.

    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, 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.

      +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?

          I’ve only used it on iOS so far, but I’m a backer so I think that might mean I have a newer version than the public beta. I might try it again if that was a while ago, I had a few bugs previously that have been sorted in the more recent versions.

      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 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
