I use Safari, but occasionally install Edge which allows me to connect to “insecure” (http://) websites. This came very handy a month ago when I needed to connect to my WiFi router’s admin panel, which https: certificate expired, so other browsers simply would not let me in. Safari used to have an option to “continue to insecure website” or some such, but it had been removed now, which is a pity.
I still have Safari set as my default, but I've been using Edge a lot since the adblocker on it is really good.
I primarily use DuckDuckGo browser app on my iOS devices. Have been using it quite a while. Last year they finally came out with a browser for Windows and use it on my desktop and laptop machines. I think they may have a MacOS version--not sure if it still in the beta stage.
I also have all of the default search engines on all of my browsers set to DuckDuckGo.

It’s Safari, but as a person who never updates iOS, I wish we could update Safari as a stand-alone app update instead of it requiring a full iOS update.
It's still possible with Safari. On the splash screen that shows up, tap "Show Details". Then at the bottom of the next page tap "visit this website". You will get one more warning after that, but will finally end up at the page.
I hate Safari with all my heart on every platform/OS it will run on. And while I understand that on iOS it's the same engine underneath, I'll still not use it on my iPhone/iPad.
I use Vivaldi. Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Have switched to Firefox recently and I have to admit, I really like it more over Safari.
Same here. I recently deactivated Safari in parental controls and exclusively use DuckDuckGo on iOS. Search is already DuckDuck only anyway.
Uhm they have it on the iOS App Store, so maybe it is only beta for macOS?Orion but it’s still beta.
Orion Browser by Kagi

I’m liking what I’m reading about Kagi, so I’ll do a bit more of research about the safety and privacy of this company, and I’ll probably give it a shot (to both, the search engine and the Orion browser)
Actually use Safari but I'm thinking about switching to Opera.
Made some test and it cames out on top versus Safari, Chrome, Brave and Firefox (Safari was the slowest tbh)

I've been using Arc Search since it launched a little while ago. Really lightweight, blocks ads, simple and clean design.
I already fully converted to using Arc on Mac, and have been slowly integrating it into my Windows PC as the beta is getting more feature rich over time.

Safari. Which I don't really like it (can sync with my mac, can't sync with my pc).
But Edge and Chrome are both cluttered AF with all useless stuff for me. I just want a plain, simple browser that I can use across systems.

You should be updating iOS -- if nothing else for security patches.
iOS updates obliterate devices’ performance and battery life - no thank you. I’ll leave that degradation to others.
