Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

    I use Firefox Focus instead of Firefox.

    Its added benefits are it can also serve as some ad and tracker blocking for Safari browser as well.

      Do you use Focus exclusively? Or you use another browser for bookmarks, logged in browsing, tabs, etc. ?

        Firefox Focus is set as my default browser so that if I click on random links from Lemmy, email, etc. the session is disposed immediately. (I had a bad habit of ‘collecting’ hundreds of tabs before Firefox Focus)

        I have a few things bookmarked in Safari, which still gets the protection of the Firefox Focus blockers. Safari is what I use for my self-hosted services.
