Which iOS browser do you use? (lemmy.world)

Since I’m a more of a tablet user, my daily devices are iPhone and iPad at the moment. I’m using Safari with AdGuard and private relay, but I was thinking of switching to Vivaldi. AFAIK the engine is practically the same and doing so I would also lose private relay and extensions support. I’ve already ditched other Apple apps and switched to EU services on almost everything (also not Apple related) What do you think? What do you use on iOS?

Been using Vivaldi for about a month. Been very happy with the performance and results.

[–] plumpsklo@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Is use Desktop Vivaldi for two years now and Vivaldi since it came to iOS. Imho the best browser.

Is it still the Case that all iOs Browsers are basically just themed Safaris (Webkits)? Or did the EU finally forbid this?

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The EU put a stop to that in March 2024. But Apple have made it difficult for developers to test non-Webkit browsers For developers who are not actually based in the EU. I don’t know which browser is of actually taken advantage of this freedom.

Ecosia on both iPhone and iPad. Including Ecosia search. Works great.

Next investment in mobile hardware will most likely be Fairphone with e/os

Standard safari, happy with the synchronization on desktop and Wipr 2 content blockers take care of the stuff i don't want to see, Consent-O-Matic clicks the cookie consent dialogs for me too..

Ecosia.

What was funny the other day is that I opened Safari and my iPad asked me if I'd like to use another browser and then it showed me a list. So I picked Ecosia.

Safari with Ad Guard

I’m not aware of any web browser that is not headquartered in the USA. European companies base their browsers on chromium.

Brave. It has a great Adblocker built-in. Even on mobile.

It is American if I’m correct

[–] Phytobus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is, but if you disable ads they don't make any money of you. And the privacy features are really good.

[–] rraggl@mastodon.nl 2 points 2 months ago

@Phytobus @StrangeMed Also... There's a discussion to be had whether we want to boycott EVERYTHING american or if we still support those who are basically doing the right thing...

[–] tfm 0 points 2 months ago

C'mon guys let's not boycott open source. You don't have to pay them anything and they are really secure.
