On: New WebKit features in Safari 15.4

[skavi]

Safari on iPhone is by far the fastest mobile browsing experience you can get. Are there extensions or web features you need that Safari doesn’t have?

It's hard to take this comment in good faith given the state of Safari and Apple's monopolistic policies around Webkit on iOS, but:

Safari on my iPhone is basically unusable. Refreshes the page constantly; swipe back a page and it refreshes; scroll down long enough and it refreshes. Then there's Reddit - crashes constantly, literally will not load comments. It does this with and without extensions.

Sounds like you’re on an old phone? I did have RAM issues on the 11 Pro that unloaded every app as soon as I opened the camera, but otherwise tabs did not unload that often.

Reddit is its shitshow and I ended up installing Apollo. This is not Safari’s fault.

Not sure about the fastest, but definitely the most buggy web experience you can get, unfortunately.

Personally I don't use Safari because among my Apple devices there is also a Windows desktop unit and I do enjoy myself browser sync across devices. So Firefox it is... Otherwise I would have switched to Safari when extensions finally became a thing.
