As you are on Mac, Safari is your best choice. It is already optimized for it. I recently switched to it as my main browser, and I doubt I will look back. Sure it is closed-source (although WebKit is open), but you already use Apple's

Even if there are custom ROMs and the like, as gruez said, you will not be receiving updates for other critical parts of the phone. Regardless, those are only community supported, and not from the vendor. I have far less trust in a random

If you just search for any legitimate extension, you find so much junk . One well-known example: Search for uBlock Origin and you will find a sketchy one name "uBlock." This seems something super easy to fix, but Google already h

People love to hate (which seems justified on the surface) on Apple's high prices, but the unparalleled years of support makes it worth it for me. Especially for phones like the SE.

That would be nice, and I love the camera LEDs. Also, it is far harder to physically stop a microphone from receiving audio as compared to just slapping something on your camera. Physical barriers are important, as software cannot bypass th
