Reviews of Safari
Alternatives Considered:
The best browser for macOS
Comments: Safari is a fantastic browser and I find it to have the lowest friction of any major browser.
Pros:
Safari is lightning fast, integrated into the macOS ecosystem, and I can use it constantly without it draining my battery, unlike other browsers which I shall not mention.
Cons:
It seems that increasingly, websites are being designed and tested only on Chrome... this isn't necessarily Safari's fault but I do feel like we're back in the bad old days of the IE monopoly...Additionally, the extensions ecosystem is nowhere near as full as Chrome's, although that's a blessing in disguise as I don't trust the security/privacy model of most Chrome's extensions.
Safari, great EDGE alternative.
Pros:
Simple access to web browser features most used.
Cons:
Less default integration with other business software.

Alternatives Considered:
Great Browser with security features for MacOS Users
Comments: I have been using Macos for over 3 years and Safari is the browser with Mac since then which I have been using since then. My overall experience have been great. Safari is a great browser even better than Google Chrome or any other Browser. It has more security features than other browsers.
Pros:
The best part about Safari is it is very fast. I have used other browsers also and I can tell that Safari has been the fastest browser among all the browsers.
Cons:
The only thing I do not like is that it is not available for for any other user not using Mac. I cannot use safari on my android and I also have a windows laptop where I cannot download Safari.
Product that becomes easy to use with frequent usage
Comments: Overall it is a good product that one can use and experience.
Pros:
The name. The UI of the product. Ease of usage. New learning and better looking vs completion. So overall a good product to experience
Cons:
Initially to move from competition it is not so easy to use. With time and usage, that becomes easier to use.
Safari browser
Comments: Very satisfied. The number one browser on the Apple devices.
Pros:
It is fast and well integrated in mac ecosystem. Works great on macs and mobile devices. It has quite good privacy and security protection, compared to some other browsers. I like the easiness of usage on mobile devices. Once you get used to it, you see that other browsers are worse to use on mobiles.
Cons:
Sometimes Safari handles some webpages a little different than other browsers, so the webpage is displayed a little worse.
Best Browser and fastest
Comments: Really good! Love to use it
Pros:
I use it on the Macbook and it's by far the fastest browser I ever used
Cons:
Could have better bookmarks visualization and more unique features
Alternatives Considered:
Good for apple users.
Comments: The speed is good and the workflow is easy.
Pros:
It was pre installed on my Apple Mac mini.
Cons:
Nothing to be signaled. Its works dirrectly.
Safari a smooth and sleek web experience
Pros:
Safari is fast, safari performance is known for being a fast browser, safari has advance security features, and they shine a lot, if you have apple it has an integration with Apple ecosystem, the UI is user-Friendly
Cons:
Safari has limited Customization, the compatibility is worst you can only use it if you have Apple devices, some websites may not be optimized for safari which can result in slower loading times.
Not my first preference but still works for me on some occasions
Comments: Slow performance is annoying especially when you are working in a fast-paced environment.
Pros:
The interface is tidy which I believe makes it appealing to eyes as a browser.
Cons:
This browser is extremely slow sometimes and not an ideal option when you have to meet a deadline.
J.L. Safari Review
Comments: Safari is a simplified version of Google or any other browser that's out there. The layout and organization for the website can be easily adjusted to suit my wants and needs.
Pros:
The browser itself is integrated very well with Apple's ecosystem and its line of products and services.
Cons:
Despite being a browser, it is only limited to Apple devices. That means that Android and other devices besides Apple can't use the browser at all.
Old Tool, "New Values"
Comments: Safari seems to be a mid-tier browser for me at the moment, I hope Apple has something working with AI that can be integrated into their browser moving forward.
Pros:
I have been a long-time Chrome user, and the longer I use it the more I realize that my privacy and history across the web are not really being held in a manner that I would expect a company to use. Being primarily a hardware company, I can really appreciate Apple's devotion to privacy moving forward.
Cons:
I would really like handoff to work better between devices. When I set down my iPhone and pick up my mac I think it really should be more intuitive regarding picking up in browsing or accessing my bookmarks/favorites.
A light and fast browser
Pros:
Great browser for navigating the web fast and smoothly. It doesn't require a lot of your computer like other browsers and is easy to use.
Cons:
Its address bar only shows the first part of a link on a website. It would be more useful if the complete address was displayed.
Great for researching
Comments: Great to learn more about topics and get a fast understanding
Pros:
I use safari for a research tool by searching up things I need to understand more about. It is very helpful and fast. I use both safari and chrome.
Cons:
Chrome and safari are run separately so everything isn't in one centralised place.
Safari, a single and minimalist browser that meets all the requirements of an Apple lover
Comments: Safari permitted me to have a better workflow when working on a Mac, supporting me to preserve battery and optimize the efficiency of my computer thanks to this native software, safari has nothing to desire to other browsers, because it is completely designed for macOS and IOS platforms ... and that makes it a fantastic browser.
Pros:
The beauty and personality of safari breathe in its simplicity, a browser that satisfies everything the Apple user wants, notwithstanding its minimalism, this software is extremely versatile, leaving us to create bookmarks to quickly access any content we want, safari allows us to have greater security of our data and searches, allowing us to choose a variety of search engines and the opportunity to choose or not certain features that allow us to have greater control of our privacy.
Cons:
Sadly safari is only officially available on Apple products, leaving android and windows users without this great alternative.
Why Safari is the best browser
Comments: I love using Safari for all my daily browsing needs as it is a fast, simple, and secure browser. Safari gives me the freedom of choosing my default search engine between Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia. I love the fact that it auto-fills my information when needed, blocks popups, and helps manage both favorites and extensions seamlessly. I love the privacy and security options it provides like hiding the IP address from trackers, giving fraudulent website warnings, blocking all cookies, etc. As an avid user of Apple's Safari, I highly recommend it.
Pros:
Safari is the best browser as compared to the other mainstream browsers, especially for Apple users. It is fast, lightweight, easy to use, and comes with an array of privacy options for an enhanced user experience. It has a smooth interface and users can perform search function on Safari using Siri. Safari makes it easy to work seamlessly across various Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Also with the new update, users can now choose from having the search bar on top or bottom.
Cons:
I am a huge fan of Safari and have been using it for years now. I can safely say that I haven't come across a single thing that I dislike about it. Safari is a great browser and it makes browsing a great experience for me. The private browsing mode is good and so is the ability of Safari to block trackers and ads.
A perfect browser
Comments: Overall, Safari is a perfect browser for the average user and is guaranteed to make things easier for users with its powerful and modern features.
Pros:
What I really like about the software is that it provides users with efficient and smooth usage in addition to having a modern desige.
Cons:
I don't like that the ad blocker removes almost no ads, which is confusing for the average user.
