What I see so far, I like very much. However, there are 2 features that are stopping me from using it as my main browser. an adblocker, and swiping the tab bar to switch between tabs. But what you have created so far, I really like!

Thank you so so much for those nice words! During the beta period I was totally amazed that quick tab swiping was the absolute #1 most requested feature :)

At least for me, it’s one of those things I never knew I needed… until I had it, and now it’s like second nature. It’s like a much better version of the “switch tabs with scroll wheel” extensions I used to use on desktop.

[djcannabiz]

I totally agree. Brave on ios does an interesting thing, where you can drag to switch tabs. It’s much quicker to switch many tabs, but i found myself overshooting and ending up on the wrong tab. I also like how the default safari shows you the edges of other tabs to make it clear what you can switch to.

Wow I never noticed that tab switching gesture thing on Brave. Quite lacking precision as you said though. Thanks for pointing it out!

I didn’t notice the lack of adblocking until this comment, thanks to a DNS based adblocker.

I wonder if it’s possible to support all Safari extensions seamlessly?

There are a number I use which make it hard to switch completely.

I’m using Orion but it seems like extensions here are either hit or miss for the most part.

Can you share which extensions you are using with Safari?

Vinegar

Banish

Dark Knight

1Blocker Scripts

StopTheMadness

The last two are essential for me, can live without the others.

Have we not all just migrated to DNS based ad blocking yet?

[oefnak]

No, that doesn't block YouTube ads (for example) and with DNS over Https will stop working soon anyway.

[SanjayMehta]

StopTheMadness on Safari allows you to rewrite URLs to alternates.

For YouTube you can rewrite to an invidious instance. No ads.

https://yewtu.be is one example.

I am not sure how the transport layer affects the DNS that is used, but I think you are mistaken. If you require an off-site DNS ad blocking solution compatible with DoH, try NextDNS.

[the_gipsy]

That only does the bare minimum.

The best solution is to run both at the same time.
