Take a look at Firefox focus. It’s great for private web browsing. I happily use it for maybe 95% of my browser usage on an iPhone.

I use Firefox Focus as well and it’s wonderful. Brand new browser every time I open something up.

It is also good for the mental trick of actually reading the articles that I open up and not just letting them sit in my tabs of to-be-read.

At first, I was so skeptical of it not having tabs. I just didn’t understand the design and thought it destroyed its function as a browser. Now that I’ve been using it for many months, I view the lack of tabs as one of its best features 🤣

I just also use a secondary browser for the few things I want to persist. In my case, I use normal Firefox. Which is still safari and iOS is blah blah blah…
