But that doesn’t mean Apple is resting on its laurels.

The company has done so much to make Safari competitive against other popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox.

For one, it syncs all your open tabs over iCloud.

it’s possible for you to even remotely close open Safari tabs from your other Apple devices.

Besides that, you’re able to install web app extensions to customize andimprove your Safari experiencefurther.

If you rely heavily on the Apple ecosystem, the native Safari surfing app should be your top choice.

Google Chrome

Chrome is the most popular alternative to Safari among iPhone users.

So no matter what rig you own, Chrome will sync your bookmarks, history, and open tabs.

It might be worth switching to Chrome for that reason alone.

For instance, you’re free to swipe down to reload the page.

Microsoft Edge

Many write off Microsoft Edge because of its association with Internet Explorer.

AlthoughInternet Explorer has a long history, its poor performance made it a laughingstock among modern browsers.

Microsoft Edge is now Chromium-powered, giving it the same foundation as the highly successful Google Chome.

As such, the massive extension library on Google Chrome also works on Microsoft Edge.

It also means you could install it nearly anywhere Chromium browsers are supported.

It can even create AI-generated images for whatever purpose you need.

This surfing app was created by the same team behind the privacy-focused search engine that bears its name.

DuckDuckGo for iOS uses WebKit as its foundation, which is what Safari usesbut its similarities end there.

Since this app focuses on privacy, it doesn’t let you sync across devices.
