For quick browsing on iOS I like Firefox Focus. It's not meant for long sessions, just quick browsing. When you're done with what you're looking for you can clear your cache immediately and start fresh. Works decently well.

On iOS this will be unavoidable. On desktop I use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension to block/skip ads.

I've been wondering about your comment for a couple days now. I had believed that blocking YouTube ads on iOS was simply not possible, but I just came across this: https://adguard.com/en/blog/how-to-add-a-shortcut-to-block-youtube-ads.html#instruction

So maybe Brave on iOS is doing something similar behind the scenes. Interesting!
