Mobile safari has intimate links into the OS, intercepting links and sending them to apps, and no real ability to filter content.

(content blockers are opt-out - and you have no ability to even know what is loading)

Browsers should be linked to the OS. The problem is that Google is trying to replace your OS with Chrome so they can track everything you do. Apple has resisted implementing a lot of bad stuff Google is trying to push, and made serious, if insufficient, attempts to stop tracking.
