Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

Not really, and thanks to iOS browser extensions (exclusive to Safari because apple), the few additions other browsers had are now avaliable on Safari.

It's best to use Safari anyway because close to everyone on iOS uses it. This makes it harder to fingerprint someone, because they all have the same general browser ID.

I'd follow the Privacy Guides safari config. It hardens Safari and adds the best privacy extension to block ads and tracking. It's the best for iOS private browsing right now.

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t checked privacy guides in a while. I’ll definitely give their recommendation a try.
