(IMO, this paints a picture of antagonism between Apple vs its users having nice things in general.)
AltStore (classic) is something I’ve tried, but it’s incredibly janky and painfully limited and, last I checked, kinda costs money every month. ?AltStore PAL operates only in Europe and at the express allowance of Apple itself.)
I’ve never actually gotten the App Store “Tor browser” working tbh. I also don’t bother with Firefox because it doesn’t feel meaningfully different. I get by with privacy, malware, and advertisement blocking from my router while using SearXNG. It’s definitely not the best for privacy, but honestly, just getting rid of google maps from my life has been such a pain in the ass it’s hard to delve further.
OpenStreetMaps has had decent Android clients, I can’t speak to the state of iOS ones though. If you can pinpoint your destination before departing to it, that’d probably serve you best…
But Google Maps has been hard for me to abandon too
Firefox exists in name as a thin wrapper over the Apple iOS WebKit engine. I personally don’t think that counts, although it’s arguable I guess.
There is no Tor Browser for iOS. There is an alternative, but it is notably hacky and flawed, due to iOS itself. The app also originally cost money in an attempt to recoup Apple’s developer licensing costs, before becoming free in 2017.

Again the antagonism of Apple against the iOS user rears its ugly head:
And the file system with Apple iOS is not something I have a lot of experience with, but my expectations are below sea level…
