A lot of web pages only work for me on my iPhone if I use reader mode. Otherwise, the page keeps resetting over and over again. Firefox, but I assume Safari is probably the same, since Apple mandates they all be based on WebKit.
Tbh it's probably been a net positive, I just instantly bail after the first refresh
I only start Chrome if some very stubborn (usually financial) site fails to work with Firefox + ad blocking; this happens maybe 3-4 times a year.
They should absolutely put it front and center. A tickbox on first run.
Unless you’re a EU citizen
There's a long tail of random websites linked to by sites like this one -- like the one in the OP!
And yeah, I do come for the comments.
Pages are often unresponsive or don't fully load. Zooming breaks so many sites. I'm always closing Safari and re-loading pages.
Are the web developers ignoring Safari? They can't be.
They're faster and they're trustless. The only attack surface of a block list is that someone removes their site from the list.
The static blocklists can be defeated easily by having ads served by the same domain.
In that case you are stuck due to apple's decisions.
This is the main reason it has become my default browser there.
