Given that all iOS browsers have to use Webkit for rendering, are there any privacy benefits in using say Firefox or Brave on iOS over stock Safari?

    I recommend you take a look at privacytests.org for iOS browsers to get a better idea of what browsers block what. DuckDuckGo has the best test results in iOS as of this post.

      Thanks. The issue I personally have with those tests is that they compare browsers using their default settings, which makes sense. It wouldn’t scalable to test every setting combination for every browser.

      So I wonder how Safari would fare if it’s used exclusively in Private Mode with ad measurement and cross-site tracking disabled.

        I agree that testing every combination of settings doesn’t make sense. I think testing the default settings is a good baseline, because then somebody can go from there.
