Safari has been very slow on my iPad recently, so I’m considering some alternatives.

My google search brought me some options like Opera Mini and Puffin but I don’t like Opera and Puffin is deprecated.

I’ve been using Orion browser for a while since I thought it was faster than safari but it’s so unstable that it grays out about once in 10 minutes.

I just tried installing Firefox Focus (since it says it’s lightweight), not sure if it’s the best option.

Is there any browser that is as simple as just a tabbed WebView? ( I mean, I’m looking for something dead simple like NetNewsWire for rss that is written in pure swift.)

      You are in the right place, but there is no solution. All browsers are basically safari with a different „skin“ on iOS.

        They do behave differently, though. In fact, Firefox Focus worked surprisingly fast compared to Safari.

          Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.

          I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.

            I have enabled only 1Password for Safari. There’s no other extension enabled/installed.

            It appears that it’s not about rendering engine, although everyone mentions about that. The problem is in the app itself, not webkit.

            And I know that every browsers on iOS use WebKit.
