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.

Every instance. My issue was marked as fixed today in 0.17.4-40 so hopefully it will be available soon.

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.

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).

How do you deal with ads? I’m running Adguard on my device but from experience it only seems to work in Safari :/

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
