f you have a Mac, you have Safari—it’s
the built-in default. Apple’s browser is
very fast, respects your privacy, and
works seamlessly with Safari on the
iPhone or iPad through iCloud syncing
features. But it’s not the only game in town.
Unlike on iOS and iPadOS, Apple is
quite permissive about running full webbrowsers on macOS. Mac browsers can
use their own technologies to render
webpages and set themselves to be the
default web browser. On the iPhone or
iPad, they can’t do either of those things.

to Safari, but depending on your own
particular needs, it might not be the bestSafari alternatives: Five Mac
web browsers worth trying
Safari’s a great browser, but it’s not the only option for your Mac and may not be
the best browser for your needs.
