The 3 Best Browsers for Your iPhone or iPad

Sure, the Safari browser is ready to go when you first fire up your iPhone or iPad but is it the browser you should be using? Just because it’s from Apple and preloaded on your iDevice does not necessarily mean it’s the one to use.

There are many many alternatives to Safari in the App Store and these developers know they have to offer you something different, something special, some kind of added value to steer you away from Apple’s offering.

At this point you’re probably thinking “so what are some of these wonderful additional capabilities that will turn my head?” Great question (you did ask that, didn’t you?) and for the answer let’s take a look at what we consider to be the 3 best Safari alternatives for you.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser – Free – App Store Rating: 4.8, 58.3K Ratings

Let’s be clear, we LOVE this company and their respect for privacy. We’ve been using their web search site (www.duckduckgo.com) for years instead of Google and it’s a fantastic alternative.

They never track your activities or remember your search terms. They don’t sell any of your information to advertisers since they don’t keep any and their search engine works great.

Their browser carries that respect for privacy to your device and is an excellent browser in its own right. You can lock the app to your Touch ID, Face ID or system passcode for additional protection. Plus they provide a privacy grade for every site you visit.

“At DuckDuckGo, we believe the Internet shouldn’t feel so creepy, and getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds.”

Aloha Browser – private & fast – Free w/IAPs – App Store Rating: 4.7, 105K Ratings

For those who feel the need for a VPN, Aloha is a fantastic option. It offers unlimited free VPN and makes it as easy as one click to engage.

The free basic version has a ton of features, and for most folks it’s all you need. It’s also fast, although in our experience not quite as fast as Turbo VPN.

For those who want more, or simply would like to turn off the ads, they offer additional options.

For $0.99 you can turn off the ads and if you’d like additional VPN functionality, such as specifying the country or using the VPN in other apps, you can upgrade to Premium for a monthly fee of $2.99 or pay $24.99 for a full year up front.

“…private browsing should not be boring. That’s why we have created Aloha Browser. Our mission is to keep you safe, entertained, and make your web browsing as private as you want it to be.”

Turbo VPN Private Browser – Free w/IAPs – App Store Rating: 4.8, 26.5K Ratings

As you can tell we’ve been building up to the most capable browser. If you are going to the trouble of ditching Safari the features that you want to focus on are privacy and speed, and of course, cost. Since this Turbo VPN is not free to use power users are the target for this app.

This browser offers, arguably, the fastest VPN browser available. We’ve used it and it is fast! We consistently get over 90% of our non-VPN download speed.

Unlike Aloha, Turbo VPN is only free for a trial period of 7 days. To use it beyond that you have to purchase a subscription. The subscription options are $9.99/week, $11.99/month or $35.99/year.

If you need speed, VPN privacy and are willing to pay for the best, this is the bad boy you want.

“Turbo VPN Private Browser – a private explorer that hides your true IP address which means your privacy is secure. With high VPN speed, You can protect your online privacy from losing online identity while using public Wi-Fi hotspots at airports, hotels, and coffee shops.”
