3rd party browsers on iOS (lemmy.ml)

Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

Thanks. The issue I personally have with those tests is that they compare browsers using their default settings, which makes sense. It wouldn’t scalable to test every setting combination for every browser.

So I wonder how Safari would fare if it’s used exclusively in Private Mode with ad measurement and cross-site tracking disabled.
