With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

But I’m using iOS. Can I still do something to atleast increase my privacy?

You can still download firefox on iOS. Snowhaze for really sensitive stuff. Safari for anything else. Using different browsers for different purposes help defend against profiling.

I personally use firefox for work stuff, firefox focus for banking, safari for personal and snowhaze for ehem.. err adult stuff.

I read somewhere that no matter the browser you use in IOS, it’s just a skin for safari. Will it make a difference if I use Firefox?

I think the history and bookmarks are separate. Only the engine is the same. For safari, enabling adguard and other extensions does wonders for privacy. :)
