im new to this. why is safari not listed as an iOS browser that respects privacy? is it that it lets 1st party cookies exist? the browser itself i thought was not used for any data harvesting or the like right? also ITP?
Do you remember the outcry some time back against Google when they wanted to limit add-ons in a way that would make adblockers less effective? Well, Apple did that too but Apple doesn't receive as much flak. This caused some add-on developers to shut down their add-on development for iOS while others just warn that their add-ons are now crippled. That alone makes it not a recommendable browser for privacy.
