Which web browser is most chosen to replace Safari in the EU?

According to TechNewsSpace , after updating to iOS 17.4, iPhone users in the European Union (EU) were able to choose their default browser, which led to a significant increase in the popularity of the Brave browser. This is a direct result of the implementation of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to promote competition in the technology market in the 'old continent'.

The Brave browser is becoming a notable trend among iPhone users in Europe. The browser is known for its focus on privacy and security, and stands out from its competitors by using alternative engines, resulting in faster page loading times, and offering unique features that Safari lacks.

In fact, previous Safari alternatives were limited by Apple's exclusive WebKit engine requirement. While this provided a high level of security and privacy, it also prevented third-party browsers from competing, offering users superior speed and functionality.

The EU’s enforcement of the DMA forced Apple to abandon its exclusive use of WebKit and start giving users a choice of browsers at device setup. Now, when users first launch Safari, they can set their preferred browser as the default. Additionally, browser developers are free to use alternative engines, paving the way for innovation and improved user experiences. The supported browsers include Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Edge, Firefox, and Brave.
