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.

Safari because all other "browsers" are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

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.

WebKit. It’s all WebKit.

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

Orion Browser which comes with a built-in add blocker.

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.

Chrome, safaris ui sucks so much I cant stand it. I also feel like its considerably slower.

Chrome is literally using the same tech. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari with a different UI.
