Disable Safari on iPhone

[AMSOS]

Hi all. I have been trying to minimise my iPhone use by sticking to important apps. I like to make the interface more readable and use the phone only for essential purposes. I've therefore zoomed into the display and increased the font size.
A key issue is to get rid of Safari and use a basic browser like Firefox Focus that only allows for opening one window at a time.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to permanently disable Safari (and not uninstall).
Can you suggest some way out?
Thanks!

while you can’t remove Safari, you can change the default browser… if the app supports deep linking.

Change the default apps on iPhone

On iPhone you can switch some default apps (for example, Safari or Mail) to alternative apps.

You can long-press on the Safari icon and select "remove app". If you ever need Safari again, you can download it in seconds from the App Store.

I don’t think you can “uninstall” safari. You can hide it from home screen but that’s about it. You CAN disable it in content restrictions section shown here but idk how it works with various apps etc.

Setting default browser app is the next best thing to do.
