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. ----- ### "Works Seamlessly between devices\!" — 5.0/5 > **Parker** | *21 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: When using a new program, I want to be able to use it on all of my devices. Safari is one of those browsers that works seamlessly with all my Apple products. Once signed in, I can access all my web pages and login information. I also like that the design is minimalistic and very easy to use. The handoff feature for continuing web browsing between devices is one of the main reasons I use Safari. > > **Cons**: The one thing I do not like about Safari is you are not able to access it on other devices made from other companies. It also lacks some extensions I used when I used Chrome. > > My overall experience with Safari has been positive. It's easy to use and offers many features that other web browsers don't offer. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "My experience on safari browser" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *16 January 2026* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - I like the availability of extensions - it has a simple learning curve - Their customer support team is so helpful - Great value for money as it is very affordable - Its page is so simple as it has friendly interface - It is fast in web browsing > > **Cons**: - I dislike the problem of bugs - I don’t like as it is not available on windows - I can be claky with so many tabs > > Safari is a very efficient browser. It works well for me since I have been using it. It has a cute interface with a lot of wonderful features. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/222217/safari?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
