There are actually no alternative browser on iOS. Before the European Digital Market Act all iOS browser have to use webkit, so while you could install Firefox, Chrome and others, they were actually using Safari's rendering engine. I believe that's where a lot of the limitations come from. Now with the DMA Firefox could use it's own rendering engine but this hasn't landed yet. I don't know if any other browser has switched from webkit yet.

That's not the same. DNS blocking is great but it can't block as well as a proper ad blocker.

Wait, I would have thought this was a myth too but that's where it comes from. American would rather give litter for their child to poop in while hiding than tackle school shooting.

But it's not run in a sandbox. I'm not sure where you get this from.
