Ask HN: Why are there so many shady browsers in the iOS App Store?

A search for ‘web browser’ in the iOS App Store yields the usual: Firefox, Chrome, Brave, etc but if you keep scrolling you get sketchier and sketchier browsers which have questionable privacy. Things like Aloha Browser, Puffin, and things like Private Browser Deluxe among a slew of others. How are they even allowed? They’re mostly a reskin of Safari with additional features like AD blockers and bundled VPN, but they’re also a huge data grab and I don’t trust them one bit.

Why all the shady browsers?
