I currently use Brave on my iPhone. It’s pretty good, since it has built-in ad and tracker blocking; but if there’s something better I’d like to know.

EDIT: I have just figured out a way to make the SnowHaze UX work for me. Here’s my homepage:

Tabliss Web in SnowHaze browser

SnowHaze, for those who don’t know, is a privacy-focused FOSS browser for iOS, iPadOS, and (I believe) macOS, which includes features such as:

  • Built-in ad and tracker blocking
  • Custom content blocking
  • No telemetry
  • Custom search engines
  • Custom homepages
  • JavaScript blocking
  • HTTPS forcing
  • XSS and tracking URL warnings
  • Passcode/biometric lock
  • Cookie blocking
  • Custom user agents
  • Canvas blocking
  • Idk, probably more
  • narc0tic_bird@beehaw.org

    It’s pretty reliable. For livestreams, it doesn’t always show correct timestamps and scrubbing back in time doesn’t work properly. But for videos it works well. It replaces the YouTube player with the default iOS video player and adds buttons to the top to change things like quality and the native player allows you to choose subtitles and set playback speed.

    As it uses the native player, it also supports picture in picture, so you get that without YouTube Premium. It also works for YouTube embeds on other webpages.
