Safari iOS is cancer. Source: am developer who supports websites on Safari iOS.
I am a little curious how this could work though. My impression is that iOS is extremely locked down. Can’t even use a browser that isn’t Safari with a skin.

Safari supports extensions these days, including first-class support for content blockers

It’s really best in class in that regard. It’s the most customizable mobile browser. Firefox in android has more extensions, but Safari’s actually integrate better in the UI and you can use shortcuts for simple things too.

Out of curiosity, what functionality and what rights am I sacrificing?

Safari is different on iOS, you can’t just take for granted we’re just talking about “Safari” here. Since when have they supported extensions on mobile?

Safari on mobile iOS/iPad have supported extensions since iOS 15 (2021), it supported limited 3rd party content blockers since iOS 9 (2015)

Surprising. What do you have to do to publish such an extension? To get any app on your device typically apple must explicitly review and approve it 🤢

For a few years now.
