    Safari.

    I love the tab bar to the moon and back. Every other browser is just Safari with an asterisk, since Apple makes everybody use WebKit.

    I don’t use Chrome on any of my devices, so I’m not worried about missing out on sync. The fewer Google products I use, the better.

    Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.

    Safari, because adblock worked before anything else did. I also use the bing app and that has its own embedded browser.

    Used to use firefox until it somehow became shit and was forced to change to safari. Super annoying. Used to be a great app.

    Safari. It’s the best for battery life and performance and I think all iOS browsers use Safari’s WebKit rendering technology anyway.

    Safari. I know a lot of people don’t like the UI but I do. It also is the most performant of the three big ones and it’s not a google product, so I don’t have to worry about it getting killed tomorrow.

    I use Safari but if Firefox was like how it is on Android with addons then I’d be using that instead.

      Been using this on my iPad pro for several months. I love the flexibility for extensions. It’s not perfect but I enjoy the trade offs even if it does randomly slowdown sometimes.

      Also using Orion! It’s the only one that’s convinced me it’s better than Safari, primarily because it’s actually more aggressive with power savings than Safari. The implementation to kill idle tab processes almost immediately is very effective imo.
