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. - 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. - I like the fact its privacy features like Private browsing, Tracking Prevention, IP address masking, and integration with Apple Apps. ### Most mentioned cons - I feel like Safari has fallen behind in terms of convenience capability of a search engine. - Maybe it’s the Grading application but it’s just a little annoying when you’re in a work flow and you have to go log in somewhere else. But it’s worth it to me for Apple. - It sometimes cannot open desktop site for certain website which causes me to shift to chrome or other search apps. ## Safari customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 316 (page 1). ### Fast, Reliable, and Privacy-Focused Browser for Apple Users - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Swetha C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
