Pros

J’utilisais google chrome avant de connaitre Safari sur mon Iphone . La consommation de batterie est aussi meilleure comparée à certains autres navigateurs que j’ai utilisés auparavant.

Cons

Certaines extensions ou outils professionnels sont parfois moins bien optimisés que sur Google Chrome. Il peut aussi y avoir quelques limitations de compatibilité avec certains sites ou plateformes plus spécifiques.

Pros

Mi è piaciuto molto quanto l’app sia fluida e reattiva. La navigazione è veloce, l’interfaccia pulita e intuitiva, e la gestione delle schede è davvero comoda. Ottima anche l’integrazione con i dispositivi Apple e le funzioni di privacy.

Cons

Alcune volte alcune pagine non si caricano correttamente o ci sono piccole incompatibilità con siti ottimizzati per altri browser. Mancano alcune estensioni disponibili su altri browser.

Inizialmente ero un pò titubante nell'utilizzarla perchè abituato con android a usare altri browser concorrenti, ma dopo averlo provato quasi per gioco, mi sono subito innamorato e ho subito disinstallato tutti gli altri browser. I punti forte di questo browser sono: 1 Semplicità di installazione: safari è già installata su tutti gli ipad e iphone, e quindi è impossibile sbagliare il processo di installazione. 2 La grafica è molto bella e accattivante, e permette di trovare subito tutti gli strumenti della quale si ha necessità ( barra di ricerca, impostazioni, preferiti, etc.. ) 3 Aggiornamenti costanti sia lato UI e UX( quindi grafici ), che lato sicurezza

Pros

Utilizzo ormai safari da circa un anno, ovvero da quando ho comprato un ipad. Ho provato un pò tutti i browser per ipad e safari è quello con cui mi sono trovato meglio, e questo grazie alle sue prestazioni e alla sua semplicità di utilizzo senza tanti fronzoli

Cons

Al momento non ho trovato svantaggi nell'utilizzo di safari, appunto perchè come dicevo prima nei vantaggi il suo punto forte è la velocità e la semplicità ( punto forte del sistema operativo della apple )

Utilizzavo inizialmente chrome per ipad, ma non mi ci trovavo per via dello stile differente rispetto a quello di android, quindi per curiosità ho voluto provare safari e mi sono innamorato

Overall, safari is an excellent browser I have ever used. I used it along with chrome , Firefox, Microsoft edge. Since I have been using it, it is working well for me. Although I use to face bugs problems sometimes. Nonetheless, it is still a good browser for me.

Pros

I like its high speed of browsing. It is so easy to use for browsing. It has a fast search engine. Page is easy to manage on it . Also password is secure

Cons

It is just that there used to be issues of bugs sometimes. Aside that , it is not available on android devices. I can only use it on iOS devices only.

My overall experience on safari is amazing. I like using it for browsing as it works perfectly for me. The challenges that I had experienced on it is just their poor customer support team, and inability to run it on iOS.

Pros

The search engine is so powerful which makes browsing fast .There is no bugs issues for now .it has a good learning curve with good value for money .

Cons

I don’t like its customer service team at all because they are not that helpful and knowledgeable in my own experience. I also don’t like as safari can only be used on iOS devices.

I think it works great on supported websites, but we have run into issues with software not being supported on Safari

Pros

I think that Safari works great with websites that support it. There were very few issues and it was easy to learn

Cons

A lot of websites do not support safari, so It was difficult to get software to load and get things done.

personalmente uso google ma le poche volte che ho usato safari mi è risultato più limitato e meno aggiornato

Pros

come google safari è molto utile per le ricerche che possono essere aziendali o anche scolastiche per studenti

Cons

lo svantaggio è che rispetto a google è molto più limitato nelle ricerche, minori opzioni di personalizzazione dell'interfaccia e una compatibilità inferiore rispetto ad altri siti web

La mia esperienza con Safari è stata complessivamente molto positiva. Lo utilizzo quotidianamente per navigare su internet, studiare e gestire attività semplici, e si è sempre dimostrato veloce e affidabile. Fin da subito l’ho trovato facile da usare grazie a un’interfaccia pulita e intuitiva, che permette di concentrarsi su ciò che si sta facendo senza distrazioni. Durante l’utilizzo non ho riscontrato rallentamenti particolari e la navigazione è sempre stata fluida.

Pros

Quello che mi è piaciuto di più di Safari è la sua semplicità e velocità. È un browser molto intuitivo, facile da usare anche senza essere esperti, e si integra perfettamente con i dispositivi Apple. Le pagine si caricano rapidamente e la navigazione è fluida, senza rallentamenti.

Cons

Un aspetto che mi è piaciuto meno di Safari è la compatibilità con alcune estensioni, che risulta più limitata rispetto ad altri browser. Questo può essere un limite per chi utilizza strumenti specifici per lavoro o personalizzazione avanzata.

Generally positive, especially on mobile devices (iPad, iPhone). Reliable and has consistent features.

Pros

It is not my preferred browser (Firefox is) but it is an effective browser nonetheless, especially on apple devices

Cons

To me it seems to bug and get slower more often than Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It is still an effective browser though.
