Pros

• You don't have to worry about updating more than once a year when the new operating systems get released.
• It "just works" along with all of Apple's software and hardware. You can use Apple Pay, Apple Passwords, and anything else.
• It is very secure. I have been in the tech field for over 10 years and I haven't see any posts on Reddit or anywhere else about viruses coming on MacOS computers. That has to do with the browser and the operating systems.

Cons

• Only works on Apple Devices.
• Can't customize the theme.
• Lags behind with feature updates as major updates only come once a year.

Our Review

There isn’t much to say about Safari. You can take this as a good or a bad thing. Safari on all devices runs very well. If you want a browser on your Mac that is built-in and just works, Safari is fantastic for that. It syncs with iCloud Keychain so you can autofill passwords and passkeys.

It works similar to how Edge works on Windows PCs. Since you have a browser that is built-in you get additional features that you can’t get with 3rd party browsers. Those features are

• iCloud Keychain - you don’t get autofill with other browsers
• Downloading extensions from the App Store and keeping them updated from the App Store
• Have Focus Modes integrate with Safari Profiles so your Work Focus can automatically change you to your Work Safari Profile to keep cache, cookies, bookmarks, etc. separate from your personal profile.
• Improved Power/RAM efficiency compared to other browsers.
• Being able to pick up a tab from your phone on your iPad or Mac.

Do you recommend Safari?

Yes, it is a very good browser. It works well and if it wasn’t for the features that I love in Arc I would use Safari.
