All mobile web browsers need to do is give you a window to the internet, so there’s not as much room for extra functionality with these apps as there is with some of the others. Both Safari and Chrome cover the basics, including multi-tab browsing, a private or incognito mode, bookmarking, easy link sharing, and tightly integrated web searching features.

Dig into the details though, and Safari has a bit more to it, whether that’s with tighter privacy and anti-tracking controls, or extras like the integrated reader view that strips out page distractions. Of course, your choice here is largely going to depend on what you rely on using on the desktop, because you’ll want to keep everything synced to your phone.
