User friendly and helpful" May 8, 2025 4.0 My experience with Safari has been positive. it has never been negative. I have been testing software and websites on it for several years at this point and have zero complaints. Pros I like it's clean interface. I don't use it often but it is definitely my go to on Apple products. I tend to use it most when testing web based software and websites. I would say it is my third favorite browser. Cons I really have no complaints about Safari at all. I find it very useful and I enjoy using it when I do. I primarily use Chrome due to the Google accounts I have to deal with, or Safari would be a close runner up Alternatives considered [Firefox](https://www.capterra.com/p/228987/Firefox/)[Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/)[Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Reason for choosing Safari I choose Safari when I need to test websites and apps for Apple products Review Source MH Mert H. Ph.D student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Safari: Perfect for Apple Users" July 17, 2025 4.0 I used to think of it as just the default browser on my Mac and iPhone — like something I’d only use if Chrome or Firefox failed. But lately, I’ve been using it more intentionally, and I actually appreciate how lightweight and smooth it feels, especially on macOS. It just integrates really well with the whole Apple ecosystem. Pros It’s solid. Pages load quickly, and it feels snappy even when multitasking. Battery life is noticeably better compared to Chrome. I also like how Apple is stepping up its privacy game. Safari’s tracking prevention and privacy reports give me a bit more peace of mind without needing a bunch of extensions. Cons There are times when I run into compatibility issues with certain websites or tools that are clearly optimised for Chrome. I still switch browsers for some research workflows or dev tasks. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Safari is more efficient if you are an Apple user. Review Source CF Colin F.

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. Review Source LD Lindsey D.

It is set as the default browser on my personal devices. Pros I like the fact its privacy features like Private browsing, Tracking Prevention, IP address masking, and integration with Apple Apps. Cons It is not supported on other OS -Windows or Linux. Other than that, it is a robust and friendly user. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Safar has excellent performance in Apple products, and it has strong security features. Review Source SK Sanaa K. Chief Clinic Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smooth and Privacy-Focused Browsing for Apple Users" February 12, 2025 5.0 A great browser for Apple users, offering speed and security, but could benefit from better cross-platform support and extension availability. Pros Fast performance, energy-efficient on Apple devices, and strong privacy features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention. Cons Limited extension support compared to Chrome, and sometimes websites don’t function properly due to compatibility issues. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Because Safarithe main benefits are better performance and battery life on Apple devices, stronger privacy features, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. Safari is optimized for macOS and iOS, using less memory and offering features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention, iCloud Keychain, and Handoff. While Chrome has more extensions and better compatibility with Google services, Safari provides a smoother and more efficient experience for Apple users. Review Source NA Nishan A.

Pros As compared to other search apps, Safari gives a more premium experience with smoothness and user friendly features. With all the tabs sections clean and tidy. Cons It sometimes cannot open desktop site for certain website which causes me to shift to chrome or other search apps. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I switched from an android to a IPhone so I had to switch the search engine as well. I was not familiar to it in the beginning but gradually I learnt. Review Source Vasilis K.

January 5, 2025 5.0 The overall experience is really great because Safari is optimized for macOS and arm-based chips. Although, I wish it had more features for web developers. Pros It's perfectly optimized for MacOS which means that it has a lot better performance than other browsers.

Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) Because Safari is more optimized for macOS and arm-based chips. Review Source NJ Noah J.

The browsing experience is hassle-free. Although, I wish Apple would innovate more as the competition is catching up. Recently tried Brave Browser with YouTube and was impressed to see 0 ads without YouTube Premium, Vivaldi is also very customizable on laptop and integrates games and Opera and Edge integrate AI now so hopefully Apple might revamp Safari soon Pros \- Privacy features (Private relay, prevent cross-sites tracking and the tracking of IP addresses) - Reading lists without having to use external apps like Pocket or Instapaper. - Extensions available. Cons \- Lack of customization (No customized themes). - Slow to add new features. Review Source SN Salah N.

Computer engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A minimalist browser" April 24, 2022 4.0 In my opinion, it is one of the fastest and best optimized browsers I have tried, it has very few features, but what it does have it does well. It is a browser that will keep you protected and will never let you down. It is an excellent browser, highly recommended. Pros Safari is Apple's official browser, therefore its entire relationship with the Apple system is a point to take into account, because the integration it has with all other Apple services is incredible and unique. The browser is simple and intuitive, it doesn't have a great interface, but it doesn't have much padding, it's a direct browser, it gives you what you need and what it promises, it has the tools you need and nothing else; It doesn't get complicated by giving you many customization options, it's a complete browser that is already assembled and perfectly optimized. In terms of search speed, the speed is good, on any device, in addition, the extension system is great, and the security that offers you when browsing is very necessary. In conclusion, it is a great browser that fulfills everything it promises. Cons It is a browser with very few bugs, it has few functionalities, but the ones it does have, it performs well. Perhaps the only negative point is the interface, which, at the cost of gaining simplicity and speed, seems a bit bland to me, but in general, it is an almost perfect browser. Review Source Arturo L.

And of course, managing in an easier way your accounts and passwords a little more securely thanks to its Face id. Pros The simplicity of the products Apple now offers in the browser makes Safari my default browser as an iPhone user. Because of its functions, the intuitive navigation, the easy-to-manage tabs, and bars, and also the management of my accounts and passwords of the pages I have visited, are protected by my face id. So Safari has positioned itself very strongly and I don't need to switch to another browser or install an additional adblocker for example. As a bonus, if you are a long-time Apple user, your bookmarks and bookmarks are being transferred thanks to iCloud, your cloud service. Cons As it is a browser that I call an all-in-one, I have had no major complaints since the new updates arrived, since they made the system even more user-friendly and intuitive.

Cons There are few features that I don’t like, however I would like the display function of the screen reader to be available for any website, this way you can better display the content Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Browser](https://www.capterra.com/browser-software/)
