Hi everyone !

I think the description above says it all.

What's safer for surfing the net on a previous version of IOS ?

Thank you for reading :)

I prefer using safari + adguard for ios => good combo without slowdown
safari is still the fastest and the most compatible, most convienient browser for iOS. I use other browsers sometimes but may have to comeback to safari for sending a pdf to my pdf reader, for example

I also use puffin free + alternate-DNS to block ads within puffin (puffin pro doesn't have ads within the browser). Very fast, sometimes faster or slower than safari, has a data compression, a built-in flash player. With alternate DNS, I don't see any ads in puffin free. use it like the pro version => this may be a choice for you. The speed depends on your region because they process your data over their server => security risk

I tried dolphin and chrome but I didn't like both. There were no convincing features

I prefer Safari only. It runs the best on older devices (I guess you have one because you're on iOS 9) compared to Chrome or Firefox. Firefox Focus is great to and is worth a try.
