The Unexpected Browser You Should Stop Using On Your iPhone, According To Tech Experts

It’s easy to assume all browsers are identical, considering how they seem to serve the same exact purpose. But nothing could be further from the truth — and, in fact, some browsers are worse for your privacy, security, and even your battery power. If you’re so used to using the same browser all of the time, have a listen to what tech experts have to say about the unexpected browser you should stop using on your iPhone. And don’t worry: there’s always a better option that you can switch to. 

By and large, the one browser that kept coming up when we asked tech experts about the browser that is most detrimental to your iPhone is Google Chrome. 

“Google Chrome is bad for your iPhone,” says Scott Spivack, Marketing Director at United Medical Credit. “While it’s one of the most popular browsers for iPhone users, it does more harm than good. It drains your RAM and slows your phone eventually. It’s not just limited to that, Chrome collects more data than Safari or Firefox or Edge. So, it’s bad for your privacy. With Google Chrome, you’re compromising not just on power and performance, but safety and privacy as well.”
