Those don’t work on iOS sadly and it’s a bit of a workaround to get on MacOS.
The Walled Garden is actually the problem, then.
Ok… I have a Linux machine too. But I need apple devices for my work as well. I’m asking for solutions not “ditch your phone and computer for different ones.”
Sorry, wasn't trying to agitate, just spewing on the Net.
Do you see installing a .dmg file (or installing through homebrew) on macOS as a workaround, or what do you mean? I'm not sure I have ever installed a single app from their store, so maybe it's just that such a "workaround" feels normal to me, but scary to others?

I am very comfortable with dmg lol the issue is iOS
There may be Mac specific browsers that might be a better fit. I don't use a Mac personally but could be worth going through the App store to see what is out there.
Why use the App Store for that? https://librewolf.net/installation/macos/
Not a lot of options for iOS. There’s Tor browser and Brave that I know of. Brave is surprisingly good, but I don’t do a lot of serious navigation in the phone, and tend to favor private mode so the tracking gets deleted once I close the tab.
