I currently use Brave on my iPhone. It's pretty good, since it has built-in ad and tracker blocking; but if there's something better I'd like to know.

EDIT: I have just figured out a way to make the SnowHaze UX work for me. Here's my homepage:

Tabliss Web in SnowHaze browser

SnowHaze, for those who don't know, is a privacy-focused FOSS browser for iOS, iPadOS, and (I believe) macOS, which includes features such as:

Built-in ad and tracker blocking
Custom content blocking
No telemetry
Custom search engines
Custom homepages
JavaScript blocking
HTTPS forcing
XSS and tracking URL warnings
Passcode/biometric lock
Cookie blocking
Custom user agents
Canvas blocking
Idk, probably more

I use DuckDuckGo, mostly. I don’t need my phone remembering my entire internet history, so I love the instant clear button. I tried Firefox Focus for a while, but DuckDuckGo go lets me exclude specific websites from the data clearing (DDG calls them “Fireproof Sites”), so I can leave some things logged in.

Me too, I’ve gotten so attached to the little fire woosh animation I can’t go back now!
