Can't comment on Windows or iOS, but the Android browser is neat!
Good:
- I like that you can pin websites for easy access, the grid is visible when the address bar is focused or when you open a new tab. Similar to Firefox but more intuitive!
- It blocks a fair amount of ads (incidental blocking, because they block trackers)
- The history is cleared after a period of inactivity or when you dismiss/quit the app, and you can "fireproof" specific websites that you want to preserve
- The accessibility features like text size and page zoom actually work, unlike Chrome or Brave where it's been broken forever (at least for me)
Less good:
- The search settings are often "forgotten". It doesn't seem to be related to the history clearing but things like "disable ads" or "safe search off" are often reset...
- I believe all the icons on the favorites grid that I like so much are fetched via a duckduckgo service, ie DDG sees the domains you've favorited...
- Some network errors result in a black page, especially anything SSL-related. Very frustrating when it happens in a captive portal...
