Computer Help and Support

Firefox is available in the app store for phone.

But due to Apple rules, all browsers use the same engine as Safari, but sure, give it a try.

I use Firefox on the desktop, chiefly because it really supports autopager. The "reader" extension is not to my liking but when you go to print (to PDF) it works beautifully cleaning up web page trash. And You can even ask the print dialog for a "simplified" version of the page going to print or PDF.

Safari has a beautiful "Reader" mode that you can email nicely. With Firefox, you have to copy text and paste if you want to email more than the link itself. You can't select "PDF" as a default printer in Safari, so just hit the PDF button in the print dialog.

I use Opera Browser sometimes for its built-in mini-VPN. It only obscures your IP address, hence your location, as ICloud Private Relay does (if you pay Apple for iCloud Plus).

All work with the GhostText Extension, (desktop only) which mirrors your text box typing in your editor of choice. This has saved a lot of lost typing when the network hangs and you have to hit the back button to re-submit your post. Sometimes, it just gets lost.

On each browser, I use an adblocker either uBlockOrigin or the closest I can get to it (on Safari) and have extensions on each to kill javascript selectively when it does bullshit things like happened to you, or which put up obnoxious cookie notices or demands to create an account or give an email address. (but that's for another post)
