It's pretty much BS like that that had me switch to IOS after years on Android.

Because Android will make you pick a default browser, you switched to iOS where you weren't even allowed to change the default browser (depending on when it was you switched), and even now every browser is actually Safari so users think there is diversity but there isn't really.

Ok.

I mean, I acknowledge that sort of thinking is common, but it's makes no sense to me.

you can pick a alternate browser on IOS and as I said - it was multiple instances

Go in your google/android settings and make sure location tracking is off - come back and tell me with a straight face that the UX of the feature is not a dark pattern.

I use an iPhone too, but aren't all iOS browsers using the Safari engine in the background, even if the front end is branded as Firefox/Edge/whatever?

Only for javascript - you can have your own html engine, but you have to use the sarari javascript engine. Technically you can have your own javascript engine, but your performance will be bad enough that we can ignore this.
