Safari has been very slow on my iPad recently, so I’m considering some alternatives.

My google search brought me some options like Opera Mini and Puffin but I don’t like Opera and Puffin is deprecated.

I’ve been using Orion browser for a while since I thought it was faster than safari but it’s so unstable that it grays out about once in 10 minutes.

I just tried installing Firefox Focus (since it says it’s lightweight), not sure if it’s the best option.

Is there any browser that is as simple as just a tabbed WebView? ( I mean, I’m looking for something dead simple like NetNewsWire for rss that is written in pure swift.)

    I have AdGuard and NextDns and I didn’t notice any slowdown

      Interesting. I had the same setup and didn’t really notice much benefit so I canceled NextDNS and stuck with the AG Home.

      That said, removing AG from my phone (or disabling the extensions) immediately sped things - it’s an entirely different experience. I tried a different adblocker now and it hasn’t impacted speeds at all so I’m inclined to believe it’s something with how I set up AG on my device.
