PA Patrice A. Assistant Design ### "Only on apple devices " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 15, 2026 Pros Safari is more efficient and fluid to use. Compared to Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, the full-screen management is much more reliable. When I’m in full-screen mode on Chrome, I can only switch to the next tab if I exit the window. Cons At first, it was a bit tricky to find all the features, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy to adapt. Another con is that Safari is only available on Apple devices.

È la scelta perfetta per la navigazione standard, la lettura, la gestione delle finanze personali e lo streaming, soprattutto per la sua leggerezza che preserva l'autonomia dei dispositivi. Pros Su dispositivi Apple (soprattutto Mac e iPhone), Safari è imbattibile. Consuma pochissima batteria rispetto a Chrome, non fa decollare le ventole ed è incredibilmente fluido nello scrolling e nello zoom. Cons Alcune piattaforme web aziendali, tool di sviluppo o siti un po' datati sono ottimizzati esclusivamente per motori basati su Chromium (Chrome, Edge). Di tanto in tanto, un sito potrebbe non caricarsi correttamente su Safari. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Sales associate Food & Beverages ### "Safari: The Low-Maintenance Best Friend My Battery Loves" 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 May 22, 2026 Honestly? As a girl who is always on her phone and Mac, Safari is like that low-maintenance best friend you can always count on. My absolute favorite thing is that it doesn't kill my battery. I can scroll, shop, and watch videos for hours without my phone getting super hot or dying on me. It’s just so smooth and clean, and I love that it automatically blocks those annoying ads that try to track what I'm looking at. Plus, if I'm reading an article on my iPhone, I can open my Mac and it's right there waiting for me. It just works. The only thing that bugs me? It can be a bit boring because you can't really customize it. On Chrome, you can add cute themes or tons of useful little extensions, but Safari's store is pretty empty. Also, if you use a Windows PC at work or school, you can't sync your passwords or tabs there, which is a bit of a pain. But overall? For daily life, it’s super fast, neat, and keeps my battery alive. I wouldn't trade it! Pros What I like most about Safari is how it saves your battery. If you use a Mac or an iPhone, Safari is very lightweight: it makes your battery last much longer than Chrome and doesn't slow down your device. Plus, it automatically blocks ads from tracking you online, without you having to change any settings. Cons What I like least about Safari is the lack of extensions. Compared to Google Chrome, Safari has very few extra tools, add-ons, or plugins that you can download. If you like to heavily customize your browser with special productivity tools, ad-blockers, or developer features, Safari can feel very limited.

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.
