I currently use Brave on my iPhone. It's pretty good, since it has built-in ad and tracker blocking; but if there's something better I'd like to know.
EDIT: I have just figured out a way to make the SnowHaze UX work for me. Here's my homepage:
SnowHaze, for those who don't know, is a privacy-focused FOSS browser for iOS, iPadOS, and (I believe) macOS, which includes features such as:
- Built-in ad and tracker blocking
- Custom content blocking
- No telemetry
- Custom search engines
- Custom homepages
- JavaScript blocking
- HTTPS forcing
- XSS and tracking URL warnings
- Passcode/biometric lock
- Cookie blocking
- Custom user agents
- Canvas blocking
- Idk, probably more
Safari with the following extensions:
Makes browsing native without most annoyances
+1, this is essentially my list too in addition to xSearch which allows me to override Safari's search engine option and use custom search engine shortcuts.
That actually sounds like a good config. I'm hesitant to pay for apps on iOS at the moment, as I'm planning to move to CalyxOS, but I might give these a try.
