Please add Private Relay support for all browsers

Apple doesn't own any other browser other than Safari. If you feel other browsers need to implement something, you need to petition them to offer it. Apple can't change how other browsers work.

I’m not sure what version of IOS you’re running, but if it’s up to date there’s no reason to use another browser.

I know from experience a VPN even if it’s handed to you by your provider disarms Private Relay across your device.

A third party VPN “confuses” Apples already stellar advanced fingerprint protection, doesn't load emails and such privately as well as negates and “confuses” the privacy features exposing your information.

A VPN CHANGES YOUR LOCATION. Private Relay hides your IP automatically. They cancel each other out:

If you’re using a VPN with Private Relay on, check your email. Look at the top. If there’s a message saying it’s not loading privately turn off your VPN, close and try again.

I’m not sure why you’d want to run the risk of screentime passwords not being recognized and possibly getting locked out of your device, and expose yourself to vulnerabilites.

If Private Browsing isn’t enough for you and you insist upon infecting your device, I'd suggest looking for a reputable browser with a VPN built in.

If you didn’t purchase your phone for its features and you’re clearly looking for them, you can modify the competitions all you’d like.

Let Apple be Apple. This is why Apple is being targeted by the DOJ. It has nothing to do with developers and games. Complaints like this effect the technology is misunderstood. It’s the privacy practices that do not allow them to freely steal your info and track.

They haven’t let me down since 1983! ;)

By default, iPhone and iOS and Messages does quite well.

Your quest starts here:

• Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support
• Apple Platform Security - Apple Support

Read through that, and then post any questions you might still in your own (new) thread.

Options you will want to consider include two-factor authentication, migrating to security keys, enabling Lockdown Mode, migrating to robust and unique passwords and security passkeys where available, heeding the Apple Security Recommendations (Settings . Passwords > Security Recommendations), enabling Stolen Device Protection, etc.

For this case, confirm your Apple ID credentials are secure, and that there are no unrecognized trusted devices present.

You might also want to consider an app such as Signal too, which has a reputation for its cryptographic implementation. (Part of which was recently added into Apple Messages, too.)

But recall too that increasing security adds costs and complexities too, and your threat model is yours alone, as are your own choices and trade-offs. Truly secure implementations approach or become unusable. And if you are planning on crimes, or are planning to become of interest to espionage agencies or other exceedingly well-funded entities, you’re probably going to have a Bad Day anyway.
