Why I Recommend Safari for All Your Browsing — Especially If You’re in the Apple Ecosystem
At Michael Coury Tech, I spend a lot of time helping clients streamline their digital lives. One of the simplest, most powerful changes I recommend? Stop bouncing between browsers. Just use Safari.
Now, I know — Chrome is flashy, Firefox is open-source cool, and Edge is… well, let’s not go there. But if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPhone, iPad, even Apple Watch), Safari is the most underrated power tool you’re probably not using to its full potential.
Let’s break down why Safari is the right move, especially for anyone who wants their technology to just work.
🔄 Everything Syncs – Instantly and Securely
Safari uses iCloud to sync your open tabs, bookmarks, Reading List, passwords, and even your browsing history across all your devices. That means:
• You find a great article on your iPhone at the beach? Pick it up where you left off on your iMac at home.
• Log into a new website on your iPad? Your Mac already knows your password.
• Need to share a tab from your iPhone to your MacBook? It’s already there in the background.
No extensions. No logins. No exporting bookmarks. It’s just there.
🔐 Privacy and Speed Without Lifting a Finger
Apple makes its money from hardware and subscriptions — not your data. Safari is built from the ground up to block trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and those creepy ads that follow you around the web. With features like:
• Intelligent Tracking Prevention
• Private Relay (with iCloud+)
• Built-in password monitoring and strong password suggestions
…Safari is like having a digital bodyguard that doesn’t sleep.
And it’s fast. Like, really fast. It’s optimized for Apple silicon, so it sips battery on laptops and flies on desktop Macs.
📂 The Built-In Hooks Are Game-Changers
Here’s where it gets fun — and powerful.
• Safari + Notes: Save whole webpages or highlights straight into your Notes app with just a click.
• Safari + Reminders: Set a reminder to revisit a site later — and it’ll take you right back to the link.
• Safari + Messages: Share tabs or pages seamlessly in iMessage — and recipients can open them right away.
• Safari + Focus Modes: Create custom Focus settings so personal and work browsing don’t bleed into each other.
• Safari Extensions from the App Store: These are curated, secure, and work beautifully with your system — unlike some of the sketchy Chrome plugin jungle.
It’s all native. It’s all secure. And it feels like using a single, elegant tool instead of duct-taping five things together.
🧠 For Power Users and Everyday Users Alike
I’m not just talking to the tech-savvy crowd here. Safari works beautifully for the casual user who just wants simplicity — but it also has serious depth for people like me who live and breathe tech.
Things like Tab Groups, Web Apps on your Dock, Reader Mode, and built-in translation are productivity gold.
☀️ Bonus: It’s Built for the California Lifestyle
Okay, this might be a stretch — but if you’re living the coastal lifestyle, you don’t want tech clutter weighing you down. Safari helps you stay light and fast, like a digital flip-flop instead of a heavy boot.
Less battery drain. Fewer popups. Fewer tabs lost to the abyss. More time living, less time tech-wrangling.
My Recommendation
If you’re already using Apple devices (which most of my clients are), don’t overcomplicate your digital life. Make Safari your go-to browser. Set it as default. Lean into the integration. You’ll spend less time troubleshooting and more time actually enjoying your tech — and your life.
Need help switching over or cleaning up your browser chaos? That’s what I do.
Let’s make your tech life smoother, lighter, and 100% Apple-powered.
