In September Apple rolled the latest software updates (iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, respectively) to iPhones and iPads and with it came some significant improvements to the Messages app. Messages is stealing some features from your iPhone. According to Apple, Safari uses 'Intelligent Tracking Prevention to identify trackers and help prevent them from profiling or following you around the web.' It also has a new Privacy Report feature that you can access within Safari that will give you a better understanding of the websites that are tracking you. You can set a custom background image new sections (such as Favorites, Siri Suggestions or Reading List) to appear every time you boot up Safari.Īpple has also added a bunch of privacy features to Safari with Big Sur. And there are new 'website favicons' to help you spot the frequently visited tabs, which will no doubt be helpful if you have multiple tabs.īig Sur also gives you a new cool way of customizing your start page. Safari will now show more tabs at once and give you previews of webpages if you hold the mouse cursor over the tab.

It's going to do the expected, such as load web pages faster (roughly twice as fast as with Chrome) and help your MacBook be way more efficient (to extend battery life), but it also adds a new tab management features that will benefit people who have leave lots of tabs open. If you use Safari as your default web browser, you're going to notice some big upgrades with Big Sur.

(If you bought one of these new M1 Mac computers, they come with Big Sur already installed.) Safari is lighter weight and better than ever. Basically, apps are going to run way faster and smoother. It's also the first MacOS that optimized to take full advantage of the M1 chip that's integrated directly into Apple's latest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini.
