Safari because all other "browsers" are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.
Safari.
I love the tab bar to the moon and back. Every other browser is just Safari with an asterisk, since Apple makes everybody use WebKit.
I don’t use Chrome on any of my devices, so I’m not worried about missing out on sync. The fewer Google products I use, the better.
Mostly safari. But when i need to move a website from my iPhone to Windows i will open it on firefox.
I use Safari but if Firefox was like how it is on Android with addons then I'd be using that instead.
Chrome. I would love to use Firefox but it doesn’t have translate.
Used to use firefox until it somehow became shit and was forced to change to safari. Super annoying. Used to be a great app.
Firefox
WebKit because its the only browser allowed on iOS/iPadOS.
lol is someone just downvoting anyone who doesn’t use brave? i don’t use brave, come downvote me
Safari, because it never gave me a reason to look for alternatives.
Firefox for syncing with my other devices, but all the iOS web browsers are different skins over WebKit. I do like that Safari has support for extensions and wish Apple would allow other browsers to utilize them as well.
Edge lately. Don’t sleep on edge.
I'll second this. I really like it. Apple just added the privacy feature of FaceID locking incognito tabs that Edge has had for a long time.
@Blakerboy777
SOMEBODY hates Edge so much that this is the only downvoted comment in the thread. Crazy the amount of hate Microsoft gets, I also use Outlook just because it’s a better email experience than iPhone’s built in app.

Chrome. Used to be Safari for continuity across my Macbook but then a bunch of extensions I used got killed and I never went back. Chrome has all my account info saved across all my devices so it's easiest to just use that.
Safari, only because of the extensions. I like being able to use custom ad block filters and userscripts.
Yeah. Extensions are a must have and the reason I use Safari on iOS, even though I use Firefox everywhere else.
Safari
Safari, but waiting on Vivaldi to get out of beta/testflight.
I use the Vivaldi browser everywhere and would be nice to have it on iOS to.
I’m eager to see what Vivaldi’s iOS browser ends up being. I’ve flipped back and forth on desktop between Firefox and Vivaldi a lot. I always end up back on Firefox just for “screw chromium” resins, but Vivaldi gets used for Google Hangouts for “silly work” reasons. A good mobile app could push me back to Vivaldi on the desktop.
Always end back on safari. Solid privacy defaults while still working perfectly for most websites.
Other browsers, like Orion, keeps stopping important websites from working
Chrome, safaris ui sucks so much I cant stand it. I also feel like its considerably slower.
Chrome is literally using the same tech. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari with a different UI.
Safari for the privacy/ adblocking
Chrome, just because I use it on the desktop and like how it syncs like safari does. I still keep safari on my mac and my iphone but most of my usage is chrome now, I would switch back to Safari or even Firefox, but the extensions I use are only in chrome for my day to day work.
Brave. Privacy good and it uses its own search engine. Used to be handy because it showed Reddit in search results but, well, stuff happened!
A moment of silence for Camino and OmniWeb… excellent Mac browsers that couldn’t join us in the modern era.
This seems like it should be a poll. Safari.
Firefox. Google never.
Yep, Firefox for me as well on all devices.
How do you deal with ads? I'm running Adguard on my device but from experience it only seems to work in Safari :/
Firefox Focus if it's just a one-off thing. Firefox if I want to keep track of it. I use Firefox everywhere though.
Firefox. Even though it doesn't have all the nice privacy and, particularly, ad-blocking capabilities as on other platforms, I use it for those reasons on my Android and Windows devices, so I like having it all synced.
I use Safari. Feels the fastest. 1blocker has been just as good as ublock for me and Userscripts is a great replacement for Tampermonkey.
I use Userscripts across iOS Safari and MacOS Safari via an iCloud folder accessible to each. Has made life much easier for me on mobile.
Same! It's a great way to make your own little cloud scripting service.
Brave, because of the built-in adblocking.
I’ll definitely be in the tiniest minority, but I use Edge on both my laptop and iPhone. Despite the general hate towards Microsoft I see online, their browser is really well made and so behaved better than Firefox or Chrome in the past ~3 years.
