Surf smarter with Safari

The internet should have a sign above it that says ‘here be dragons’. Social networks follow you around the web to see where you go and what you like; advertisers use all kinds of tools to build up incredibly detailed profiles of you to sell on or use to target you with ads; and all kinds of sites use dirty tricks that make the web a whole lot less fun. But Safari gives you the tools you can use to fight back, to keep your privacy protected, and to disable the features that some websites use to make your life more difficult.

Despite impressive competition, Safari is still our everyday browser — and its privacy features are a big part of that. Unlike search engines and social networks that make their money from user data and ads, Apple makes its money from selling us systems and services — and that means Apple can afford to protect our privacy instead of mining it for money.

In this tutorial, we’ll discover the features and extensions you can use to regain control over your web adventures. Whether you want to stop ad networks from tracking you or just wish Facebook would stop filling your feed with so much unwanted stuff, we’ll show you how to get Safari just-so.

Protect your privacy online

Everywhere you go on the internet, someone is trying to track you. Apple would rather they didn’t.
