Does anyone have suggestions for mobile browser?

My best bet right now is duckduckgo privacy browser, but I do not like the fact that it is locking me in their search engine.

I like Safari, it goes a long way to provide sufficient protection out of the box and without the need to install or configure anything.

I recently switched to Brave and have been quite happy with it. Their new syncV2 works pretty well. Plus, I get a perfect import of all chrome settings including extensions.

I use Firefox for most things. Sometimes I use Firefox Focus for sites I don't want to store in my history (like Slickdeals.net; I'm on that site too much as it is, so I try to make it less convenient. Totally not to hide my shopping habits :)!)

I use uBlock Origin and Bitwarden on Firefox for Android. It's really nice to have the option to install add-ons!

2 things i hate about Firefox on iOS:

- Can't change font size (such a basic feature...)

- Content blocker (strict) is worse than Safari + Adguard

Other than that, i like it. Can set my own search provider, and i'm using Sync with Desktop as well.

Safari. Everything else is just a mobileSafari wrapper, so it seems redundant using anything else unless you have all your passwords tied up in something proprietary.

Brave is a pretty decent choice on mobile.

I’ve used Firefox on mobile for a long time. Perfect, no, but it’s not Chrome and can sync my bookmarks.

Brave and Firefox
