I have an iPhone, and I have recently been using Brave. Firefox is a favorite.

Does it matter on an iPhone? Unless something changed, Apple only allows reskins of Safari.

It matters somewhat, in that you may be able to sync things between mobile and desktop if you use the ios version of your desktop browser

Kinda Brave/firefox can keep a lot of ads from bogging down things.

Well it matters for everything but the rendering engine. Some browsers have extensions, others don’t. Some have poor usability like Chrome and others like Arc work way better.

Firefox for Android as it’s one of the only mobile browsers with comprehensive addon support and helps to keep Google’s WebKit/Blink monopoly at bay.

I’ve been using Orion. A bit buggy but it offers proper extension support, including ublock origin (it supports Firefox and chrome extensions)

You’re on iPhone… They’re all the same Safari/WebKit browsers.

Unless you’re a EU user?

That’s kinda my understanding as well.

Brave/Firefox, although basically reskins, help keep ads at bay.
