Built on the WebKit rendering engine, it is optimized for performance, security, and energy efficiency, making it well-suited for Mac hardware. Over the years, Safari has introduced features such as tab grouping, native support for Apple Pay, and a strong emphasis on privacy, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention and a built-in password manager that integrates with iCloud Keychain.
Safari on macOS supports modern web standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of websites and web applications. It also includes features like Picture-in-Picture mode, which allows users to watch videos while browsing other sites, and a Reading List for saving articles for offline viewing.
