I don’t trust anything but Firefox or Safari anymore. Every other browser vendor has an ulterior motive to steal your data or serve you ads.

Why are you including Safari in this? It's such a bad browser, doesn't even allow you to hard reload or get debug info on iOS.

Sure it does, you just open the dev console on your computer.

The criteria for the original comment was not “which is the best browser” but rather “which browsers aren’t adware”. As Apple doesn’t monetise user data the way Google and Microsoft do, it belongs on the short list with Firefox. Is Firefox better? Yes.

If my computer is an Apple Mac, sure. It isn't, so I can't inspect it. Unlike Firefox, where I can inspect it by connecting it to any computer with adb installed.
