I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

Wait, I can change my homepage URL on iPhone. I find it hard to believe that’s an option exclusive to iPhone.
Edit: it’s at the bottom of the settings>homepage tab
You can't do it on Android, it's not an option... Google it if you want to verify it.
Sorry, I didn’t mean “I can’t believe” as in “I think you’re lying” but “I can’t believe” as in “what an absurd feature to leave out on android”.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood, but yeah, we agree then, it's crazy. And what is crazier is that it did work a few years ago, and then at some point they removed it.

So yeah, doesn't seem like a priority and might not get fixed for a long, long time... so until then I'm using Kiwi.
No worries, I most definitely could have phrased it a lot better.
Having the feature then losing it is even whackier. 🥴 Especially I’d think their focus would be android users and making sure it’s up to date/functioning for them.
I hope Apple will relax the rules on web browsers in order for Firefox to use their own engine instead of WebKit. New EU laws will put more pressure on Big Tech.
