Web browser is one of the most important apps in our daily life. Most of the services and activities are done via a browser nowadays. iPhone is shipped with a stock browser called Safari. Though it has many unique features that are different from Chrome, Firefox or IE, it is still not favored by most of iPhone users. So what are the best alternative to Safari in App Store? Please check out the list from here.
1. Firefox Focus (Elegant and Fast Web Browser)
It doesn’t surprise me if Firefox made it our list because the Firefox developers team have updated the browsers, and they are looking sharp on the paper. Firefox nailed desktop browser for the advanced features of the Mozilla Quantum, and the developers launched Firefox focus. The Focus edition browser developed keeping privacy, so you don’t need to turn on incognito mode to maintain security. The Focus browser stealth mode is always turned on, so you don’t get victimized by the web trackers.

Adblock browser’s primary purpose of keeping you safe from advertisements. Unfortunately, advertisements have plagued our privacy by stealing data like IP as well as other personal information. That’s why we need ad-free browsing experience. Adblocker offers decent security against the ads and the hidden tracking activity that comes with it.
Adblock Browser Features:
- Best Ads blocking algorithms in the world.

4. Opera Mini (User Friendly for Old iOS device)
I have been using Opera Mini since 2009, and I can tell you that it is one of the best browsers for older iPhone’s. In case, if you are running iOS 9 on your iPhone 4S or 5S, then you should try the Opera Mini, and I don’t recommend it for the newer devices like iPhone X-series. Opera Mini offers many new features for the users like making pages lighter, and increase the loading speed. It comes with Incognito mode, so you can maintain your privacy without compromising.
