Comment on iPhone vs Android

Just for FDroid and the open source programs alone I would stick with android. Watching YouTube without ads, my own browser with an adblocker…
Stock Android versus stock iOS, stock iOS is more hardened, more secure. But it’s a more restrictive walled garden. So it depends what your criteria of privacy is. If you have an iCloud account, and you enable end to end encryption, and you trust Apple then it’s better than stock Android.

Both are well possible on an iPhone.

Do tell…
My understanding is iOS requires all browsers to use web kit.
And there is no open source repository on iOS, so how are you watching YouTube without ads?

My way (probably will be downvoted to oblivion) is with Premium to support content creators i enjoy.
To add to the other options already mentioned. My understanding is Brave Browser and AdGuard with Safari also removes ads.

Well, I’d say to support content creators directly if they provide such option rather than through YouTube ads or YouTube Premium. I think that even 1$ one time is more that channel would have earned from like thousand of your views.

Safari on iOS supports extensions out of the box. You can just install adguard or something else and won‘t have any ads.
There are also third party browsers, which yes, use WebKit, but also can block ads.

Yes, but… - anyway, what exactly would a different rendering engine improve for your experience?
Vinegar exists.
