Safari is still the dominant web browser on Apple products, despite its lack of innovation compared to Android browsers. With iOS 18, Apple is focusing on AI technology to enhance Safari’s performance on iOS and iPadOS. One standout feature is the Reader mode, which provides a clean and convenient way to view web content.
Reader mode offers customizable background colors and font options, making reading a more pleasant experience. You can also set it to trigger automatically for specific websites. Additionally, Safari now includes a Summarize feature that provides a concise summary of articles.
Compared to Android browsers, Safari’s implementation of Reader mode is more user-friendly. Another useful feature in iOS 18 is the ability to hide distracting elements from web pages with a simple tap, creating a cleaner reading experience.
Other new features in Safari include Highlights for important information and context-aware browsing tools. Safari now supports extensions and content blockers in web apps, offering a more customizable browsing experience. Overall, Safari in iOS 18 is not a revolutionary update, but it adds practical and helpful features that enhance the browsing experience.
