In Sept. 2020 Apple released iOS 14<\/a><\/span> with the ability to set a custom default browser on your iPhone. The change was a small but meaningful one, as it gave users the option to essentially never use Safari again. In this article, we look at how to change your iPhone’s default browser<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read: Why your iPhone is slow and How to fix it<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because while Safari<\/span><\/a> works fine, and has some decent anti-tracking tech<\/span><\/a> built-in, other iPhone-compatible browsers are no slouch.
