Typing this on Brave for iOS. What is the best browser for iOS from a privacy standpoint? Firefox doesn’t have uBlock Origin. I don’t trust Microsoft Edge or Chrome. What do you suggest?

Safari, as it has a built in cross-site tracking blocker. Optionally add an ad-blocker, such as AdGuard.

Um Firefox not only has uBlock origin, it's way better than Chrome's version. FF is definitely way better.

Apple doesn't let it's users have the freedom to install add-ons.

You can install Firefox Focus[1] on iOS and enable it as a content blocker in safari settings. It works really well as an ad-blocker.

I use Firefox on iOS, in combination with ad blocking via NextDNS. Works pretty good.
