"Efficient and Reliable for Mac Users"
4/5
What do you like best about Apple Safari?

I use Apple Safari as my default browser on my MacBook and appreciate its speed, security, and reliability. It's incredibly easy to switch between tabs, which is much simpler compared to other browsers. Safari is also very fast and capable of handling multiple apps and tabs simultaneously, consuming less memory than other browsers like Google Chrome. I love that it seamlessly integrates across my Apple ecosystem, making it simple to use the same tabs and websites on my iPad and iPhone. Drag and drop functionality works well, and watching YouTube videos in picture-in-picture mode is a breeze. Another major advantage is its efficient battery usage, especially compared to Chrome, which makes a big difference on my older MacBook. The browser's clean interface adds to the user-friendly experience, and I'm quite familiar with it after using it for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Safari?

They need to expand their ecosystem as Apple Safari is not supported on Android or Windows systems. And the other thing is the extension limitation, because Chrome has a widely set of extensions available for the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, fast, and effortlessly web browsing."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apple Safari?

What I like most about Apple Safari is its ease of use. The interface is clean, intuitive, and doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary clutter. It’s very easy to navigate, whether you’re browsing, researching, or managing multiple tabs. Because it’s already built into macOS and iOS, the ease of implementation is excellent; there’s nothing to install or configure, you simply open it and start using it.

Another strength is the ease of integration with the wider Apple ecosystem. If you use a MacBook, iPhone, or iPad, Safari syncs bookmarks, passwords, tabs, and browsing history automatically via iCloud, making it effortless to move between devices. I use Safari daily, so my usage is very high, both for business tasks and personal browsing.

Safari offers everything most users need, including strong privacy protection, built-in tracking prevention, reader mode, password management, and useful extensions. It’s also well optimised for Apple hardware, which means it’s fast and energy efficient.

Apple’s wider support means customer support is always accessible through Apple Support, documentation, or the Apple community if you ever need guidance. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-integrated browser that simply works and fits perfectly into my work and personal life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Safari?

One of the things I find slightly frustrating with Apple Safari is the limited support for certain browser extensions and web tools compared to browsers like Chrome. While Safari does a great job for everyday browsing, some specialist business tools, plugins, and web applications are clearly designed with Chrome in mind first, ie Chrome Plug-ins. That occasionally means you have to switch browsers to access a feature or extension that simply isn’t available on Safari.

I also find that some websites don’t always behave exactly as expected in Safari. It’s not common, but every now and then you’ll come across a platform where a feature doesn’t load properly or a page behaves slightly differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth, Clean Browsing with Better Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Apple Safari?

I really like Apple Safari for its clean and minimal UI and also for its ease of implementation, which makes browsing feel smooth and distraction-free in my everyday use. It’s very fast and optimized for battery efficiency, which helps me work longer without worrying about performance. I also find features like built-in privacy protections very useful, as they make my workflow more secure & convenient and secure without needing any other extra tools. It also integrates effortlessly with the Apple ecosystem, though I haven’t needed much customer support due to its reliability and simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Safari?

I don’t really have anything to dislike about Safari overall, but I do find it can feel a bit limited when it comes to extension support compared to other browsers, which reduces my flexibility while I’m working. I also think Safari could offer stronger customization options so users have more control over the interface and the overall browsing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple Safari?

As a web developer, I’ve found that Apple browsers follow different standards than other browsers. It may be due to stricter security or privacy settings, but it can still create challenges for our web development support team when we’re trying to ensure that all features of our site work as intended.
