Every link opens in Safari, whether you like it or not? BrowserSwitch asks you first. Once you select BrowserSwitch as your default browser in the iOS Settings, every link you tap brings up a list of the browsers installed on your iPhone. One tap, and the page opens exactly where you want it. HIGHLIGHTS A choice for every link All installed browsers at a glance, with their real logos. Hide the ones you never use. Built-in browser Open pages inside BrowserSwitch itself, with an address bar, search and back/forward navigation. From there you can hand any page to another browser at any time. Rules for services Always open links to particular services in the same browser, with no questions asked, no matter which app they come from. More than 20 well-known services are ready to go, among them Amazon, YouTube, Google Maps, Wikipedia, GitHub and PayPal. Custom addresses Decide which browser opens any address you choose. Subdomains are covered automatically: "github.com" also matches "docs.github.com". Your own order Decide the order in which the browsers appear in the chooser. History Every link that reaches BrowserSwitch is kept in your history ā grouped by day, with website icons and full-text search. One tap opens a link again. Your history stays on your device only and can be cleared or turned off at any time. Adjustable appearance Show or hide icons, browser names and the URL individually. English and German Switch the language inside the app, independently of your system language.

Show Browser keeps what you do on your own iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Your history, bookmarks, downloads and per-site permissions live on this device and are never uploaded anywhere. The app sends nothing about you to us: there is no analytics library inside it, no crash reporter, no advertising, and nothing watching how you use it. WHAT YOU GET ⢠Private tabs that keep no history, no cache and no site storage, and are never written to disk ā not even when the system closes the app. ⢠Your tabs come back. Reopen the app and the session is where you left it. Private tabs are the deliberate exception: those do not return. ⢠Add your own shortcuts to the new tab page. Long press to remove one. ⢠HTTPS first, with a full-screen warning when a site cannot do it ā not a small icon that is easy to scroll past. ⢠A certificate warning that never quietly accepts on your behalf. ⢠Camera, microphone and location decided per site, reviewable and revocable. ⢠Clear browsing data by time range. ⢠Reader mode, find in page, and request the desktop version of a site. ⢠Report an objectionable page from the menu; it reaches us directly. ⢠Block any site from the menu, and manage the list in Settings. PERMISSIONS Camera, microphone and location are requested only when a site you are on asks for them, and only after you have allowed that site. The app itself never uses them. WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Show Browser renders pages with Apple's WKWebView, as the App Store Review Guidelines require of every iOS browser. Pages therefore look and behave as they do in Safari. What differs is everything around the page: how tabs are managed, how security is surfaced, and the fact that nothing leaves your device. Show Browser is made by Sage. https://showbrowser.sage.show

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Show Browser. at none against BrowserSwitch ck's 1. Show Browser. also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
