Safari Reviews & Ratings

4.6/5

“Great on Mac, Just Okay on iPhone”

I love how Safari performs on macOS—smooth, responsive, and integrates well with the trackpad. But the iPhone version, while functional, lacks the power and flexibility I need on the go.

Pros : Excellent performance on Mac with smooth scrolling and gestures.

Cons : The mobile version feels stripped down and less intuitive.

Switched from : DuckDuckGo

Reason to switch : Lack of extensions and a limited ecosystem.

4.5/5

“It Just Works (Especially If You”

I'm an Apple user through and through, so Safari is my natural choice. It's fast, reliable, and it syncs seamlessly across all my devices – my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I love how it integrates with iCloud Keychain for passwords and how it just generally feels like a part of the Apple experience.

Pros : Super fast browsing, clean and simple interface, great integration with other Apple devices and services (like iCloud Keychain), strong focus on privacy.

Cons : Not as many extensions as Chrome, and sometimes websites aren't perfectly optimized for it.

4.5/5

“Seamless Experience, Especially with Handoff”

I love how Safari lets me start reading on my Mac and pick up right where I left off on my iPhone. Password autofill is a breeze, too. But I wish the extension library were richer.

Pros : Integration with Handoff and iCloud Keychain is top-notch.

Cons : Lack of deep extension ecosystem can be frustrating.

Switched from : Microsoft Edge

Reason to switch : Needed add-ons, CPU support, operating system support and it limits the number of vertical tabs opened at once.

4.5/5

“Fast, Quick and Low Memory Usage”

Safari is great if you're looking for speed and efficiency. It’s super light on RAM, which I like. But compared to newer browsers, it feels a bit behind in terms of features designed for power users.

Pros : Quick page loads and low memory usage.

Cons : Fewer advanced features like tab grouping or built-in VPN.

Switched from : Veera

Reason to switch : Extensive resources usage and older OS support.

4.5/5

“Minimalist Design with Great Privacy”

I appreciate Safari’s clean design and how seriously it takes privacy. Intelligent Tracking Prevention is a big win. However, as a developer, I sometimes miss the more robust DevTools that other browsers offer.

Pros : Sleek interface and strong privacy features.

Cons : Some developer tools are limited compared to Chrome.

Switched from : Google Chrome

Reason to switch : Needed advanced privacy tools and options.

4.5/5

“Super Secure with Built-in Privacy Features”

Safari gives me peace of mind with its anti-tracking features and secure browsing. But I also use Windows at work, so syncing bookmarks and history becomes a hassle.

Pros : Strong security and built-in privacy settings.

Cons : Not available on Windows or Android.

Switched from : Opera Browser

Reason to switch : Smaller extension library and potential privacy concerns due to its ownership structure.

4.5/5

“Simple and Fast but Not for Developers”

Safari is perfect for everyday use. It’s light, fast, and gets the job done. But when I need to test web pages or debug, I have to switch to something like Chrome or Firefox.

Pros : Streamlined UI and fast startup times.

Cons : Lacks many developer-focused features.

Switched from : RoxyBrowser

Reason to switch : Needed a browser that uses less system resources and memory.

4.3/5

“Private and Lightweight, Ideal for Casual Browsing”

I use Safari when I want something lightweight and private. It’s great for quick browsing or checking emails. But for deeper privacy, I end up switching to something more feature-rich.

Pros : Low memory usage and strong privacy defaults.

Cons : No built-in VPN or advanced privacy tools like other browsers.

Switched from : Brave Browser

Reason to switch : Potential compatibility issues with some websites due to its privacy settings, and a tendency to be resource-intensive.

4.3/5

“Great for Battery Life”

I stick with Safari when I’m on the go because it really helps stretch battery life. However, if I’m working on something where I want a highly customized setup, I switch to another browser.

Pros : Helps my MacBook battery last noticeably longer.

Cons : Limited themes, toolbar options, and custom shortcuts.

Switched from : ixBrowser

Reason to switch : Restricts some tabs and consists of storage limitations with resource intensive operations.

4.2/5

“Reliable and Stable for Everyday Use”

Safari has been my go-to for years. It's super reliable for reading, shopping, or streaming. But when I want to play browser games or use certain web tools, I have to switch.

Pros : Rarely crashes and works well for daily browsing.

Cons : Limited compatibility with certain browser-based games and extensions.

Switched from : Mozilla Firefox

Reason to switch : Needed a browser that uses less system resources and memory.
