### "Safari has an amazing performance in my Apple devices"

January 23, 2026

5.0

Though I don't use Apple devices at work, Safari has an amazing performance on my iPhone. 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.

### "Safari: The Low-Maintenance Best Friend My Battery Loves"

May 22, 2026

4.0

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.

### "Solid Tool"

June 22, 2026

3.0

Pros

Safari has a very simple interface and it's very familiar and dependable. I'm able to manage tabs easily, and I've never had any issues or bugs.

Cons

I feel like Safari has fallen behind in terms of convenience capability of a search engine. I don't feel that they have as many new offerings to automate my workflows and searches.

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.

### "Safari is an excellent browser. 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

### "Great for normal browsing but bad for web developers."

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.

Cons

I still it had a better inspection system so that I could use it as my testing browser for my web projects.

### "Fast, Reliable, and Privacy-Focused Browser for Apple Users"

May 31, 2026

4.0

Pros

Safari is fast, lightweight, and works seamlessly across Apple devices. The browser is easy to use, offers excellent battery efficiency on MacBooks, and includes strong privacy features such as Intelligent Tracking Prevention. Tab management is simple, bookmarks sync automatically through iCloud, and web pages load quickly with minimal resource usage.

Cons

Some websites and web applications are optimized primarily for Chrome, which can occasionally lead to compatibility issues.

### "About Safari"

July 5, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Safari is very good. I use it very frequently and have had a great experience.

Pros

What I like most about Safari is the web browsing. It is very useful and has great tab management I tend to use it a lot.

Cons

What I like least about Safari is how sometimes the pages can get mixed up. But other than that it’s good.

### "Only on apple devices "

June 15, 2026

5.0

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.

### "An Internet browser with strong points in security "

December 27, 2024

4.0

Safari provides a simple yet secure Internet experience. Again, as security is important to me, I prefer this simplicity and peace of mind.

Pros

The security and privacy fences are all in the right places and overall good, at least when compared with Chrome or Edge. Third party cookie blocking comes by default preventing the user information to go to unintended parties. Extensions come only from trusted developers. This may be seen as a disadvantage, but to me is important to trust the software I use. Safari is also really good at preventing cross-site tracking.

Cons

Sometimes the excessive security comes at a cost: personalized experiences and recommendations when shopping maybe affected. A minor inconvenience considering the level of security. Another major con is that it is Apple centric. If you live outside of the Apple ecosystem you cannot use it, as there there are no Windows or Linux versions.

Switched from

[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

Too slow and prone to security issues related to extensions.

April 23, 2025

3.0

Safari is a great option if you care about privacy and maintaining security.

Pros

I like the security Safari offers, and that I can trust I will not be hacked when I'm using it. Safari offers great privacy.

Cons

I don't think Safari is as easy to use as Chrome. It feels at odds with the user friendliness of the phone/computers themselves. I wish it were a little more straightforward.

I love safari because of the ease of searching for stuffs and how it organizes your search and suggests

Pros

Safari is the best . It gives you precisely what you are looking for once you type an idea of what it is . The English spelling doesn’t have to be right . Safari still searches what it is

Cons

There is no single con to using safari. It’s just the best way smarter than a lot of browsers

### "Not a Ram eater, good if privacy is important for you."

January 4, 2024

5.0

I've been using safari for a long time and i haven't faced any issues at all, it was always updated, fast and reliable, no complaints whatsoever, it actually values my privacy in a world that's not so private, i would recommend switching to it to anyone who can.

Pros

Safari for me is the top browser out there, it's not a ram eater like chrome, it's fast, easy to use, reliable and the privacy from trackers and the ad blocker features are top notch. it also syncs between iPhone and my MacBook so it's great.

Cons

The bookmark management tab is a bit cluttered and needs work to get to the right bookmark you want.

### "Safari: Good for introductions to the world wide web"

September 30, 2021

4.0

Safari is decent when it comes to the speed and hard drive space. Not that great in regards to versatility, features, and security.

Pros

Safari's biggest advantage is that it comes prepackaged with all apple devices/products. Besides that, it's a fairly rudimentary browser that doesn't take up much space on a computer. Out of all the browsers out there, Safari is one of the fastest and lightest browsers to have on a computer and/or device, simply because it is simply built without many features or add ons. This makes it a good web browser, as well, for those who are brand new to surfing the internet.

Cons

The features for this browser are limited. Privacy settings are minimal, security is best only on apple devices, and bookmarks management is only useful mostly in relation to iCloud. The minimal features of Safari, severely narrow its usability to just visiting different sites on the internet.

Reason for choosing Safari

First browser on my first apple device.

### "My review of safari"

October 21, 2022

5.0

Safari is one of my main browsers. I made the switch from Bing to Safari and I don’t think I would ever turn back. Safari is just very user-friendly in nicely designed. I don’t think I would change very many things about it. Highly recommend using it.

Pros

It’s a really nice browser that integrates with the Google suite pretty well and saves your passwords so you don’t have to keep a thick book with all of them that you would constantly have to update. I think we all know how painful that can be.

Cons

I wouldn’t say it’s almost as good as Google Chrome to me, but I think this is specific to me because I use the Google suite so much so naturally, Google Chrome would have a slight edge on safari in my opinion. Not necessarily a knock on safari. I think that’s just specific to me.

### "You don't need another browser if you are an iPhone user"

November 23, 2022

5.0

With the implementation of the new updates, Safari has remained strong and I think that as the title says, if you are an iPhone user, you don't need another additional browser, as its features are more than necessary, keeping the functions the same or even better than others. 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.
