Safari is hands down one of the most well-known internet browsers in the world. Native to the iOS and macOS, this highly efficient browser was released in 2003 by Apple Inc. for their computer Apple 2.
Built using open-source software like Webkit, it made its first appearance as an integral part of Mac OS X Panther. Later, Safari modifications were made in this browser and a mobile version of it was also released in the first iOS( iPhone OS 1). Since then Safari has been the king of browsers.
As time has passed many other browsers like Opera, Brave, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Chrome, etc have been developed by various companies but Safari still holds the number one spot in terms of browsing speed and overall user security.
So, what makes Safari an ideal browser for all Apple users?
- It comes as an inbuilt app in iOS and macOS.
- It is extremely safe thanks to the impressively designed languages in which it was primitively written.
- It is the fastest internet browser in the world.
- It has a very well-organized and interactive UI.

- Unlike Chrome or other open-source browsers, it is less prone to virus and trojan attacks.

And these are some of the many reasons why Safari should be the first choice browser for Apple users.
