Showdown SAFARI VS. CHROME

Is Google Chrome the best browser out there? Or should Safari remain your default browser? Since most of the time users spend on a Mac involves web browsing, the Safari versus Chrome debate is a big one. I'll cover the pros and cons of each browser and see which ones comes out on top.

WHAT'S THE BEST BROWSER FOR A MAC?

Is Safari better than Chrome? It depends. The best browser for a Mac depends a lot on your experience. Safari is Apple's browser that comes pre-installed on your Mac and other Apple products. Apple completely upgraded it with the macOS 12 Monterey update, with many new organizational and security options. Safari offers many great features, and it is the most power-efficient browser for your Mac. However, Google Chrome is also an excellent option.

Google Chrome does not come pre-installed, and many users won't find it in their App store, which might lead you to question if you can download it at all. You can, but you'll have to open Safari first and go to Google's website to download Chrome.

Google Chrome is popular with Mac users because it has an abundance of powerful extensions and many ways to customize your browser. Additionally, Chrome is made for all kinds of devices, not just Apple. This comes in handy if you use Macs at home but PCs at work or vice versa.

HOW DOES SAFARI STACK UP?

LOCK YOUR APPLE ID WITH A PHYSICAL KEY

Security keys are physical items that can be used to verify your identity when logging into your Apple ID. If you are planning to use security keys, make sure you have at least two. Apple requires you use two, so that if you lose one, you will have another as a backup. At iPhone Life, a brand we recommend is the Yubico Yubikey 5Ci ($75).

WHY I DITCHED MY APPLE WATCH FOR THE OURA RING

Every morning for the past three months, I wake up wearing a shiny gold ring on my right pointer finger. If you look closely, you can see beams of red or green light leaking out the sides as it scans my heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. I roll out of bed, grab my phone, and open the Oura app.
