Best alternative to Safari

I’m looking for the best alternative to Safari on iPhone. I have been using Apple products for many many many years but lately Safari has been giving me a lot of strange issues and I don’t have time. My bookmarks icon keeps disappearing. If I need to go somewhere in a hurry and it’s a long link, which I don’t have memorized, how do I get my bookmarks back when they disappear almost every day? So I’m looking for the best alternative to Safari for a web browser.

There is no "best". Use whatever works for you. Brave, Firefox, Freespoke, Orion, DDG... there are many many choices, and you do not have to use one at the expense of all others.


Do not use Google Chrome unless you want to be tracked hacked packaged and sold.


If your Safari bookmarks are disappearing something is wrong. Fix it. Read If Safari isn't loading websites or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support among other recommendations.
