Verdict
Safari is the default browser baked into iPhone, and most reviewers who mention privacy do so approvingly, but a meaningful slice of recent reviews describe slowdowns, crashes, and confusing connectivity errors.
Best for
Someone who wants a browser that's already there, integrates with the rest of their Apple devices, and doesn't want to think about installing anything else.
Dealbreaker
Multiple recent reviewers report it going slow, crashing on searches, or throwing confusing 'no internet' errors even with WiFi on — if you've had stability problems with Safari before, these reviews suggest it's not fully resolved.
