You don’t browse that way. You browse the fediverse through an app like Voyager and the links you click go through the native iOS browser, without any ad blocking. You have to copy paste the link into your chosen browser to actually have ad blocking on iOS.
You can set a default for opening links outside of an app. Like, i can set an app (if there’s an option) to always open links externally and it will open in my default browser. Unfortunately, from my understanding, apps are required to use default safari when opening a link in-app. It’s really inconvenient to open every link I click in the voyager app externally so I just open links in reader mode as default.
Technically all browsers are safari on iOS but apps like chrome, Firefox, etc. only use the shell.
I agree. I don’t keep track of what sites are horrible cause I don’t see them usually. But when it hits you, it’s shocking just how unusable the raw internet has become. Some sites I are fine but sometimes I just got copy paste to actually read an article.

On Android, you can choose which browser is used by default to open web links. Is that not an option in iOS?

Content blockers can still block ads even in app
I’m using AdGuard with voyager
Ah, that’s unfortunate. I guess the onus should still be on web sites to not be a tire fire, rather than expecting users to adopt workarounds.
