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.

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 because all other "browsers" are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

Safari here as well. Haven't found a compelling reason to switch thus far.
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

Firefox Focus if it's just a one-off thing. Firefox if I want to keep track of it. I use Firefox everywhere though.
Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.
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
Brave. Privacy good and it uses its own search engine. Used to be handy because it showed Reddit in search results but, well, stuff happened!
@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
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.
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 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.
Orion Browser which comes with a built-in add blocker.
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?

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

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, because adblock worked before anything else did. I also use the bing app and that has its own embedded browser.
A moment of silence for Camino and OmniWeb… excellent Mac browsers that couldn’t join us in the modern era.
Arc at the moment
The spaces and auto tab cleaning are so helpful in managing my chaos
Brave, because of the built-in adblocking.
Chrome to sync all my browser stuff across platforms.
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.
Safari, with Wipr for ad blocking.
I use Safari as my main browser for Mac as well so everything is synced.
If the App Store rules are ever relaxed by Apple willingly or by regulation I would likely use a proper port of Firefox too.
Safari. I really like Hide my email (and private relay is a nice bonus). Not sure if those are available on the other browsers.
Brave for sure
lol is someone just downvoting anyone who doesn’t use brave? i don’t use brave, come downvote me
Safari
Safari does everything I need.
Firefox
Safari. I know a lot of people don’t like the UI but I do. It also is the most performant of the three big ones and it’s not a google product, so I don’t have to worry about it getting killed tomorrow.
Safari
Safari, but I’m trying out Vivaldi. Looks good, scrolling is not as smooth as expected for a browser, but it’s just a beta.
Safari, because it never gave me a reason to look for alternatives.
