What browser are you using in iOS17?

[kvlq]

Now that we are allowed to use 3rd party browser apps on iOS, i'm curious what are you using and why?
I switched from Safari to ARC recently and i really like it, despite the fact that i cannot hide the latest 5 searches or so under the url bar which pops up when you open the app.

I use Edge on all my iOS devices. It’s a huge plus that I can easily sync bookmarks with my Windows and iOS devices seamlessly.

I use Chrome on my PC and can also sync my Chrome bookmarks with Safari on all my iOS devices. I have iCloud installed on my Windows PC.

I really like Edge just because the built-in adblocker works really well (plus it syncs my info with regular desktop Edge).

I use DuckDuckGo which blocks more trackers than Edge or chrome.. using their email to clean the mail and tracking cookies, I have been able to cut down on spam emails

Safari with Adblock Plus.

Safari with Adblock Plus.

Yep, and Chrome on my PC with uBlock Origin. Great combo.

Safari in the main but some work stuff is only accessible via Edge so i use that occasionally for work stuff when out and about on campus where i work.

Would like to hear folks’ iPadOS preferred browsers too, I was disappointed to feel my brand new ipad ”pro” getting super hot yesterday using Firefox, which has always been buggy /glitchy in iPad OS… but I use it for lack of a better open-source semi-privacy-conscious option… :-/

Reading the results and comments above, perhaps it’s time I gave DuckDuckGo another try. I forget what exactly, but when I used it on iOS a while ago, there was something about it that didn’t work well.

Safari with AdGuard, works just fine for 99% of my browsing. I also installed Dark Reader and Banish.

I like Safari on my Apple Devices. I have chrome as a backup if I did need it.

Safari with Wipr but I’m considering installing Brave as a secondary browser…

I wish the torrent manager integrated on Brave was allowed on iOS / iPadOS

The 1% of time will be Safari. Using a browser on the phone is almost nil because of the size.

Safari with Adguard on iOS most of the time. Brave browser for all the YouTube time (I don’t use YouTube app).

Brave since AdGuard broke after 17.5 so safari is relegated to the miscellaneous Apple apps folder on page 3

to be honest, im surprised by how few people are using ARC.
Personally, i'm using it for more than half a year on both iOS and macOS.

I use Safari. If a page doesn’t load correctly, I will use DDG.
