    Actually, I have. It gives me better tracking protection than vanilla Safari, it allows me to use SearXNG, and it means I can set a custom homepage. Also, for some reason, Safari has no private mode on my phone.

    Not to mention that Mozilla is working on a Gecko-based version of the browser, as Apple is being forced by the EU to allow sideloading, third-party app stores, and third-party browser engines.

      The big thing holding me back from Firefox on iPhone is the ad blocking side of things. Is there a way to block ads besides vpn based methods?

        Well, there is NextDNS (and other providers, such as AdGuard DNS, rethinkDNS, and AhaDNS). It’s not a VPN, and it’s what I’m currently using alongside ProtonVPN (through WireGuard).

        You could also try a Pi-Hole.

          I just got a new router that puts the whole network behind Mullvad via WireGuard … getting the headless pihole to play nice was fun, but I’m pretty stoked that my phone now falls under that umbrella.
