Safari

Safari is Apple's own web browser and has been a fixed part of macOS since June 2003 – today complemented by versions for iOS, iPadOS and visionOS. The focus lies on Apple's WebKit engine, a clear emphasis on privacy with Intelligent Tracking Prevention, Privacy Report, anti-fingerprinting protection and automatically generated strong passwords, the Reader mode for distraction-free reading, Tab Groups and Profiles for separating personal and work browsing contexts, cross-device synchronization via iCloud, and a growing collection of extensions from the App Store. Safari supports modern web standards, web apps with home-screen integration, and leverages Apple silicon to balance battery life and speed better than other browsers on Apple devices.

In this tag hub on apfelpatient.de, the complete Safari coverage comes together: detailed coverage of every new Safari major version and its features, tips and tricks for Reader mode, Tab Groups, Profiles, ProMotion scrolling and history management, background on WebKit updates and security patches including BSI advisories, explanations of privacy features in the context of DMA and ATT, comparisons with Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and all rumors and reports about upcoming Safari features and new web standards.
