What are you talking about exactly?

iOS GMail App > Settings > Default Apps

You cannot choose Firefox or Brave but you certainly can choose Safari.

That's not true, "Safari" for iOS Gmail means a shitty in-app web view, not sharing cookies, history or UI with actual Safari, Gmail itself acting as the "browser".

This shady behavior (calling a web view "Safari") is one of the reasons I gave up on Gmail.
