Private tutor E-Learning ### "Fast, Power-Efficient, and Perfect for the Apple Ecosystem" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 31, 2026 Overall, Safari is my default browser on Mac and iOS because it offers the smoothest performance and best battery life. It handles tabs effortlessly and integrates seamlessly into my daily workflow. While I occasionally have to switch to Chrome for specific web developer tools or niche browser extensions, Safari remains the best all-around choice for daily use on Apple hardware. Pros What I love most about Safari is its incredible speed and efficiency within the Apple ecosystem. It is remarkably lightweight on system resources and battery usage compared to other browsers. Features like Tab Groups, seamless iCloud sync across devices, and built-in privacy protections (like Intelligent Tracking Prevention) make daily browsing fast, clean, and secure. Cons The main downside is extension support—while improving, the library of available extensions is still smaller compared to Chrome or Firefox. Additionally, occasional minor layout glitches can occur on web pages optimized strictly for Chromium-based browsers, though these are rare.

Safari è veloce, intuitivo e leggero sui dispositivi Apple. È un browser che utilizzo volentieri per la navigazione quotidiana e che consiglio soprattutto a chi utilizza già altri prodotti Apple. Pros Mi è piaciuta la velocità di navigazione all'interno del browser e la semplicità dell’interfaccia. Uno degli elementi fondamentali che ho trovato importante è stato proprio il gestore delle passkey che mi ha permesso di accedere più velocemente al mio account sui diversi siti web. Anche la gestione della privacy è un punto positivo. L’ecosistema Apple, come al solito, non delude mai! Cons I problemi di compatibilità ci sono e non sono pochi sfortunatamente e ha penalizzato molto la mia navigazione su questo browser. Inoltre, rispetto a Google Chrome, trovo che ci sia meno possibilità di personalizzazione all'interno. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Ho deciso di cambiare perché con Safari ho la possibilità di utilizzare molte passkey che su Google Chrome non potevo utilizzare.
