I am looking for an alternative to Safari, not Chrome, that I can use on Mac OS, iOS, and iPad OS until they fix the bookmark issue on the iPad.

As most of you know Apple have moved the bookmark menu under a panel that does not close when you select a bookmark when you iPad is in landscape mode. My old 2-3 click operations are now 10 clicks and I just get mad every time I use my iPad to browse the web. I would like to be able to import my old bookmarks (I have a ton from my research) into the new browser.

That was my first thought but I figured I would ask just in case there is something new and cool
 
Honestly, new and cool (and not backed by a major entity) to me just sounds like it's gonna be abandonware after a short while.
 
now I know you said not Chrome; but there is Brave Browser has its own adblocker. While I personally stopped using them mainly because at the time their bookmark sync was broken I heard its been updated 2.0 and fixed; but I got used to safari now. Brave is good chromium based browser.
 
I use firefox on iOS mostly because I use firefox on desktop with bitwarden and uBlock origion extensions, then I use the firefox bookmarks sync service across desktop, tablet and mobile. On iOS it still uses the Safari engine so you don't get any kind of performance hit which is good. Just a shame there is no uBlock origion for iOS.... also firefox for iOS doesn't autofill with bitwarden properly - have to tap "passwords" and then it will appear for the website you're on - not sure if this is a firefox, bitwarden or safari bug...
