Unpopular opinion, but this new layout is better. I don’t even remember the old layout since I’m not even a long-time iOS user (this is my first iPhone). I looked up the old layout or the “cascade” layout and it looks more painful to me than the new one. By the looks of it, it’s definitely easier to miss a tab you’re looking for in the older version, and then you will have to spend like 10 more minutes scrolling to find the tab you’re looking for. Sure, it may be “faster”, but it’s definitely harder to find the certain tab you’re looking for if most of the tabs are only viewable by a little area at the top. This app is mostly fine except for a few problems I get from time to time. Today I’m having a problem where I was trying to look at some Google images and then I tried to look at more but it was just stuck on loading. It wouldn’t even finish loading. This happened only on like 2 searches thankfully though. I’d probably give it a 95% since it has some minor lags and problems.

In my humble opinion, Safari is the underrated king among multiple web browsers on the market. I was a PC devotee from ‘95 to ‘16, since then, it’s been all Tim Cook 🍎 all the time. My only regret is not purchasing a smartphone back in ‘07 from Steve Jobs. Presently, I own an iPhone 6s Plus in rose gold (2016), iPad Mini (2016), iPad Pro (2019) & MacBook (2018) in rose gold with matching Beats By Dre headphones. All four are set up with Safari, not Chrome, TOR, Brave, Edge, or DDGo. I love the ability to quickly save favorites, add to reading list & share content to other platforms. My favorites are alphabetized for quick reference & the reading list keeps all articles & pages in chronological order for quick recall. Also, I learned Safari quickly because it’s extremely user friendly. The browser helped my navigation of Apple when switching from PC. I’ll admit, learning MacBook isn’t easy, but, Safari keeps things familiar for me on the desktop. When lost, just go back to Safari & start over. It’s surprising no one in tech media mentions Safari more often as a go to source for navigating the internet. Chrome is the reigning king of, Land Of Browsers, without an heir apparent. I nominate Safari as the prince with future king potential. Citizens of Land Of Browsers don’t like their chrome-plated dirty laundry aired, sold or tracked.

I used to use this but recently got duckduckgo and love love love it. On safari, I find it SOOOOOO aggravating when I am halfway through typing my search and it for whatever reason takes down my keyboard and erases everything I was writing, or when it takes me to google for a search and has that annoying pop-up to download google and I accidentally click it and it repeatedly takes me to the App Store to download Google EVERY TIME that I try to re-open safari. Cannot stand these things. I also do not know much about the screen time limits on here, but from what I know, there are not many options. When you turn on Screen Time limit in the Settings app, it puts screen time limits on every website on here. I appreciate screen time limits, but I wish you could choose specific sites to allow for the sake of research, or to go the opposite route and let you choose the apps you want to limit, and then have the full limits on all sites as it’s own option. I would love that for all search engines really. As a student who doesn’t have screen time until 12 PM, if I have homework in the morning and all of my websites only allow me to have one minute of time, and I couldn’t finish it all the previous night, I’m screwed. If I have access constantly to every site, including and especially speaking of socials, I am also screwed. I hate how it’s either one or the complete other. PLEASE fix these🙏

I began using Brave Browser several years ago mainly from security concerns. Banking, data privacy, etc., plus general ease of use and overall functionality I found more to my tastes and usage. BRAVE has started randomly shutting down and losing ALL my open tabs. I keep upwards of ten-twelve sites open as these are my daily go-to sites, plus things like banking, Veteran’s Administration, Social Security, audio technical sites and more. From time to time I’ll click on a link from a search engine or another site’s hyperlink and BOOM, I am left with ONE new window. History is intact, but it’s time-consuming to recreate, reopen tabs from weeks, months back. On my iMac and my iPad and iPhone I have similar tabs which have NEVER once closed all at once like this. For this reason alone, I am bailing on Brave browser. Sure, I have never once gotten a straight answer from Apple’s help sites regarding any issue with an apple product whether it’s Safari or any other app (iTunes scrambled my library a few years ago and I “lost” several hundred gigabytes of data) but this “feature” (they call it a bug) was the last straw. Bye-by Brave, hello Safari.
