Synchronization Across Devices
For several years, Apple has pushed a goal to seamlessly integrate user activity across all devices. The Safari browser’s synchronization capabilities reflect this agenda. With this browser, users can sync Internet history across devices. For example, if a user reads an interesting article in the morning on their iPhone, they can easily return to the article in the evening by searching the history log on their Macbook.
Users also appreciate the advanced auto-fill settings for email and other communication services. With this feature, contact information on the user’s iPhone can be auto-filled into messages.
Private Mode
People who would like to hide some of their browsing habits no longer need to anxiously delete individual entries in their browsing history log. Instead, set the browser to private mode. When private mode is on, the browser will not record the history or store cookies.
It is important to note that private mode does not make users invisible on the Internet. Internet service providers and network administrators can still see the users’ browsing habits. To avoid this, a virtual private network is necessary.
Search Snapback

Regardless of whether the user clicks 10 links or 100 links, Search Snapback returns users to the search bar with their first question or keyword. This neat tool results in more productive Internet searches.
