Honestly, if you can tolerate the Apple ecosystem it works really well, with adequate privacy.

Not having firefox browser extensions is a huge dealbreaker tho (because Apple require some safari thing in all the browsers that breaks extentions), like imagine not being able to have uBlock Origin.

Also, I’m a bit of a pirate… Apple app store has no torrent client… 😉

Why would you torrent from your phone?

Wrong tool for the job…

    Slow, extra data traffic, extra battery usage.
    
    What are the upsides? I could see a phone being a great controller for a remote seedbox for sure.

    You can use it with wifi, I just view phones as computers, so not using them for whatever is weird to me. If someone wants to download torrents they should go for it.

You can literally set up a raspberry pi for torrents.

Why on earth would you torrent in your phone?

Orion browser oIOS has firefox and chrome extension support (doesn’t work for everything but most do)

I’d consider myself an average ublock user on desktop, and as a point of comparison I’ve yet to run into anything on iOS that wasn’t blocked just as well by AdGuard for Safari, plus the distraction control feature for hiding one-off annoyances.
