When I have private relay on, it does what it’s supposed to in iOS Safari. But when it’s enabled, I can’t use any third party browser to browse whatsoever. I’m not talking about being able to use private relay in chrome, I browse to any URL with Chrome when relay is on. Same for every other browser I’m using.

I thought private relay doesn’t effect anything but safari.

From my understanding, private relay has no effect outside of Safari. I know when I tried using private relay on Firefox and going to "WhatismyIP" it was my actual public IP. In Safari, it was something different. I am assuming it is the same way across the board.

I’m finding that not to be the case. Not only are third party browsers not working, but so far at least one other app isn’t working with relay on.
