    If safari was a great browser, I don’t think apple would fear competition to the point of fully banning it wherever possible

      Safari is a great browser, especially in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Aside from adblockers what exactly does chrome/ff do better?

        Every other browser except IE has supported web standards more quickly and more fully. Safari is trash.

      I haven’t had problems. I would just like to be educated on what I’m missing out on.

        Functioning ad block, background video playback, to name two extensions that are very useful on mobile.

            Ah, I didn’t know that was possible. I don’t think it was last time I used iPhone circa 2019 or so.

              When I left android, I was jailbreaking on iOS, so generally had all of those features, but funny enough probably about right when you left extensions, VPN ad blockers, etc. came out. Officially and polished.
