If you use an iOS device, Safari is awesome. The integration between all your hardware devices syncing passwords, tabs, bookmarks, reading list, etc. kicks ass.

I would argue experiences of alternative browsers on iOS is somewhat artificially hindered... Not that I'm saying Safari is bad browser, but on iOS you can't really set other browser as your default browser, browsers can't use their own engines, etc. etc.

  3rd party browsers are not able to make use of the Content Blocking supported by iOS, which is a major sacrifice to use Chrome.

    That was originally the case, but I believe it was opened up in iOS 11? I certainly use Firefox iOS primarily and don’t see many if any tracking ads.

      Firefox may be doing their own thing, since they own the webview, but they cannot use the content blocking API.
