What browser is everyone using for their default on iPhone/iPad? I used Safari for the longest time because of the sync between iPad and iPhone but recently started using DuckDuckGo. Mainly because I like that I can open a tab in the background or foreground and I like the grid view for my open tabs.
I'll have to give it a try but between iphone and ipad i use safari. Currently on Firefox on my mac.

Pretty happy with Safari on all my Apple devices, Samsung Internet on my Androids and Chrome on my Windows devices.

Pretty much the same. I prefer and use Safari on all my Apple devices, Chrome on Windows (work default/standard for internal sites) along with Edge for Cisco Finesse (seems to not reload the page as often as FF or Chrome or IE), and FireFox for my personal browsing.

I’ve tried Brave on iOS and although it looked nicer than the previous FF, I just don’t see the appeal beyond what FF has. Also I don’t wish to have to re-enter/sync all my passwords into a third browser.

Safari preferred with Google search:
- i trust password security better, love the prompt about security breaches of sites that have my pw so I can keep tabs and update.
- I Copy/Paste on all iOS/iPadOS/macOS works fluidly, but I wish the copy would hold longer than a few short minutes.
- built-in translation love this feature,
- Reader Mode - nice and clean!

I use Safari and DuckDuckGo ad my search engine. I want some degree of privacy/anonymity!

I’ve tried DDG, couldn’t stand lack of search results for phone numbers (unknown to me when received), business address with multiple sites in the same city, and a few other searches are lacking. I WANT to ween off G Search heavily in browser but for now still grudgingly stuck. The layout of results is annoying as well so much unnecessary blocks of info which needs to be cleaNed up.

I’ll have to re-read the privacy/anonymity of DDG but I wonder with internet search that all the domain hosts feed info back to Google‘s crawlers anyway??
 
The one thing I love about Safari is that bookmarks come up when you press the bookmark button, on Chrome it is a couple of button presses which is annoying. I would use Safari on Mac if they let me put a decent Ad Blocker on it.
