Any recommendations for iOS? I switched to Librewolf on my Linux pc and Fennec on my Android phone, but still have Firefox on my iPad. Looking for good alternatives.
All browsers on iPhone are reskinned Safari as far as I’m aware. I don’t think it matters much what you pick.
I could be wrong though.
You’re right, expect in the European Union where Apple is forced to let people install non-Safari browsers.
didn’t that change some time ago?
I think it’s only Europe that is looking into that.
…leave iOS?
True, I really hate iOS. I only got this iPad for the Apple Pencil and Procreate. I usually try to keep hardware until it dies, but I may need to dump this iPad for my sanity.
Haven’t used iOS in a while, but I remember Orion being really good. It can install chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons.
Currently using Orion, it works well though I haven’t thoroughly paid attention to scrutinize it thoroughly.
Vivaldi has been my pick for a bit. It can install Chrome add-ons but not Firefox.
They also have taken a stance not to include genAI:
