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?

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 🤢

extensions on mobile are published as normal apps, so yes the process/requirements are the same as publishing any app on the app store

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?

You can’t load software on your own device unless apple gives you permission even though you bought the device. I know how this goes every single time though. I can list features you don’t have or reasons why apple is trash and none of them will concern you at all. You will claim you don’t need other browsers but safari, you don’t need features android has had for years, you don’t need usb-c. Exactly the same conversation every time. When apple eventually gets any of these features, you will be ecstatic and love the company for them. It’s a cult.
And inb4 I am in the Google cult. Nope, fuck Google.
