Safari is Apple's default web browser, pre-installed on macOS and iOS devices. It offers features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), a built-in password manager, and iCloud Keychain integration. Safari aims to provide a secure and private browsing experience within the Apple ecosystem, but its reliance on Apple's data collection practices raises privacy concerns for some users.

Privacy-Focused Alternative

Ad-blocking privacy browser

Brave offers better privacy than Safari due to its default ad and tracker blocking and its focus on user privacy. While Safari offers Intelligent Tracking Prevention, it does not block ads by default and still relies on Apple's data collection practices. Brave's commitment to blocking ads and trackers by default and its private browsing mode with Tor integration make it a more privacy-conscious choice for secure browsing.
