Since I’m a more of a tablet user, my daily devices are iPhone and iPad at the moment. I’m using Safari with AdGuard and private relay, but I was thinking of switching to Vivaldi. AFAIK the engine is practically the same and doing so I would also lose private relay and extensions support. I’ve already ditched other Apple apps and switched to EU services on almost everything (also not Apple related) What do you think? What do you use on iOS?

    Is it still the Case that all iOs Browsers are basically just themed Safaris (Webkits)? Or did the EU finally forbid this?

      The EU put a stop to that in March 2024. But Apple have made it difficult for developers to test non-Webkit browsers For developers who are not actually based in the EU. I don’t know which browser is of actually taken advantage of this freedom.

    Ecosia.

    What was funny the other day is that I opened Safari and my iPad asked me if I’d like to use another browser and then it showed me a list. So I picked Ecosia.

    Ecosia on both iPhone and iPad. Including Ecosia search. Works great.

    Next investment in mobile hardware will most likely be Fairphone with e/os

    I’ve tested Qwant, Ecosia, Vilvaldi, Startpage, and Firefox Focus. (The last two I dropped since I realized they were still linked to US)

    I like Vivaldi for desktop, but I don’t love the layout on mobile (although I appreciate you can change the icon to something not red!).

    So I’ve just been using Qwant for both search and as an iOS browser. Pretty happy so far.

    Brave. It has a great Adblocker built-in. Even on mobile.
