Safari because all other "browsers" are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

[–] Dancermouse@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly safari. But when i need to move a website from my iPhone to Windows i will open it on firefox.

[–] JasSmith@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Chrome. I would love to use Firefox but it doesn’t have translate.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

I use Safari but if Firefox was like how it is on Android with addons then I'd be using that instead.

Edge lately. Don’t sleep on edge.

[–] Blakerboy777@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll second this. I really like it. Apple just added the privacy feature of FaceID locking incognito tabs that Edge has had for a long time.

@Blakerboy777
SOMEBODY hates Edge so much that this is the only downvoted comment in the thread. Crazy the amount of hate Microsoft gets, I also use Outlook just because it’s a better email experience than iPhone’s built in app.

Chrome, safaris ui sucks so much I cant stand it. I also feel like its considerably slower.

[–] ribboo@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Chrome is literally using the same tech. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari with a different UI.

Orion Browser which comes with a built-in add blocker.

[–] Tormented@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Been using this on my iPad pro for several months. I love the flexibility for extensions. It's not perfect but I enjoy the trade offs even if it does randomly slowdown sometimes.

[–] SpacemanSpiff@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Also using Orion! It’s the only one that’s convinced me it’s better than Safari, primarily because it’s actually more aggressive with power savings than Safari. The implementation to kill idle tab processes almost immediately is very effective imo.
