It’s secure and you don’t have to worry about your privacy. > > **Cons**: Sometimes you have to scroll down to find answers and limited capability with some websites and apps > > Honestly i think it’s better than the other engines. It’s user friendly and has a good speed. Now they also have built in reader mode which is honestly the best thing. ----- ### "An Internet browser with strong points in security" — 4.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *27 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > Safari provides a simple yet secure Internet experience. Again, as security is important to me, I prefer this simplicity and peace of mind. ----- ### "Great browser, intuitive and functional." — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *23 December 2024* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a great, smooth, functional browser. > > **Cons**: Occasionally I’ll encounter sites that are optimized for Google Chrome that have some display issues. > > I like it very much. It’s intuitive to use, everything is where I expect it to be and it just works. ----- ### "Safari review" — 5.0/5 > **Colin** | *6 March 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > Generally positive, especially on mobile devices (iPad, iPhone). Reliable and has consistent features. ----- ### "Easy to use lacks third party integration" — 4.0/5 > **Ryan** | *18 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Safari is my favorite browser on my cellphone, most of the staff prefers safari on the phone due to the easy navigability. > > **Cons**: Safari does not allow for third party integration easily and they have a secure protection for doing so. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/222217/safari?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/222217/safari) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
