on my iPhone

Next step: get an Android so your can use the real Firefox

I would if I could. In an ideal world, I'd be running postmarketOS with LibreWolf on a PINEPHONE; but that's simply not the way things are.

At the risk of being condescending... don't worry too much about it for now. I assume the reason you can't switch is because your parents or someone else is paying for it and won't allow your input. If that's the case, when you get to the point of being able to pay for it yourself, you get to choose exactly what you want.

Becoming self-sufficient is pretty wild, come to think of it. Also mildly traumatizing and occasionally terrifying, but mostly great. Need a new phone? You get whatever you want, if you can. Same with housing, transit, etc. If shit wasn't so unbelievably expensive it'd be even better...

Thanks. However, it's not a matter of cost. I get my phones second-hand from family, and they always go for iPhones.

I've asked for a Pixel or Fairphone and explained that I would be more than happy to buy it myself, but I'm always met with a long explanation on why iPhones are objectively better, and the idea is shut down.

Honestly, with only 229 days to go until I'm 18, and a year until I leave home for either university or a gap year, I'd may as well just wait this one out.
