I mean… it's hilarious that people still use Chrome when it has been a known back actor for years and years. Firefox is an excellent option and the more people that use it, the more it encourages companies to keep supporting open web standards.
Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection, it's probably quite a bit more secure from intrusion than a similar Android phone. (And definitely more secure from subpoena.)
i abandoned it ever since they say they slow down incognito mode, and prevent the liberal use of adblockers, or extensions.
You can pretend your iPhone isn't owned by a corporation that just swore fealty to the current regime, but until its running a custom ROM it isn't fucking yours.
Only phone that comes your own from factory I'd maybe the pinephone. Otherwise, get a pixel, rip out the factory OS install, and throw Graphen OS on it.
Both Android AND iOS have taken code from Graphene and used it to secure their codebases. Its probably one of, if not the most secure OS available to the average person today.
