The most painful part of using Apple
Unfortunately, I’m not lying when I say that Safari gets slower and harder to use every day. The slogan, “World’s fastest, truly private” is quite literally the opposite of what Safari is. It’s mobile optimizations are very annoying due to the fact that one swipe while scrolling an article is enough to open the window screen, click on an ad that covers almost the whole page (due to the painful optimized layout for mobile users), or even crash the entire app. That’s only one problem and it’s already enough to drive users insane. And unsurprisingly, all of the very unoptimized functions of the app have dire implications on the performance. I can’t go one day without Safari crashing when I’m watching entertainment, playing games online, or doing any other activities. One example was that the entire browser crashed because I was uploading a single .svg file in order to create an image on an editing site. I wasn’t signed in because it wasn’t something that would take long and, therefore, the crash wiped my work away. There are plenty of other issues that also could have been touched on, but I have to cut it short because I don’t have time to also explain them. Luckily, people who are just a couple generations of devices behind can always open up Safari experience a fair share of those problems.

Lots of bug after ios 18
I cannot use this app its crashing all the time after ios 18. Like its going to show a black screen sometimes when we open a tab. And touch issues
Merging window won’t work, keep losing tabs
Last Update: new problem, I open a lots of tabs and another thing is driving me crazy is when I want to put a recent tab next to another one, the tabs bar move to the oldest tab open so now my tab is even more far away from the tab I wanted to put it next to.
So this annoying browser keeps opening links in new window instead of a new tab, thus losing all my session’s tabs to open only the last opened window in the next session even though I merged the windows together before or not. There are still no « restore the last session » option which is the basic, this is so lame. Update: I twice managed to save my tabs session after opening links in new window instead of tab by mistake. The new window creates a Split View but closing that new window in the split screen is not enough as it still open in open apps list, so I had to close it there too and hope it to work and it did work. Now I noticed another issue in private session. When I am in a private session and I want to open a specific tab from the grid preview, often the page refresh itself and does not correspond to the preview, it displays a different url.

A true safari of invaluable information!
I will tell you that I utilize safari perhaps more often that I ever even realized until recently when I needed an answer and decided to ask a pretty complex question on social intelligence and the extensive wealth of research and information and additional links on exactly where to find each topic it truly was an incredible reading and knowledge so I gained so much from it and felt compelled to show my gratitude not just for this but for so many years of rescuing me and helping me be the most knowledgeable that I can be. I firmly believe we should never stop striving to know more, gain better understanding, learn, read, so that we can have more impactful conversations which will have a positive impact on the world around us, as it is ever changing we need the tools that enable us to do the work required to keep up and I definitely appreciate all the support.

Plz fix
Yesterday and today Safari has been reloading every three and four minutes and it’s annoying because on the website I’m on every single time you come back on the website. You need to watch an ad and it’s so annoying to play on that website the page reloads which already takes like five seconds and I need to watch a 30 second ad just to come back into the game and then three minutes later boom reload again and I have to watch another ad before this problem used to be like a minor issue and it happened every 30 minutes or so but now it’s continuous so if this could be fixed, I would love that very much and bye but overall, it is a good browser. Also, in that same game or website it’s a survival game and I feel like this is scripted because the webpage always reloads the moment. I’m in front of another player and then I’ll come back and I’m dead. It’s so annoying and so time-consuming this doesn’t get fixed as you’re probably switched to something like Firefox or Google, but please please fix this

Only missing better extension support
Safari is the most-used app on my iPhone, and it’s great. It look good and works well.
However, the lack of robust extension support and relatively locked down nature of the APIs compared to competing browsers on other platforms is disappointed. It costs more on Safari to get functionality that usually isn’t as good as you can get for free on the other platforms, like good ad-blocking, or dark mode on every website.

Tech support needed
For some unexplained reason, the images on websites aren’t showing and the progress bar doesn’t load completely and instead crashes. I’ve had both of these problems for ten days and tried every solution, all of which were useless. If your seeing this, please do something to fix it properly.
Change to needs tab options
Disappointing that the option to set new tab start page has been removed. We used to be able to select a ulr for new tab start page (as remains three case on Mac Safari browser). Current start page is annoying and just adds steps to browsing. Please reinstate tab start page option. Otherwise I'll be switching browsers.

Perfect
I love using Safari. It’s fast, safe and integrates seamlessly with my Apple devices. And I love the summarize feature where a whole webpage can be summarized using Apple Intelligence.
Website Links are unremovavable
BROWSER HISTORY STILL SHOWING UP IN TYPO WHEN I TYPE IN THE SEARCH BOX PREVIOUS LINKS ANS SEARCH STILL SHOWING UP WHY WHEN BROWSER HISTORY HAS BEEN CLEARED! HOW IS HISTORY SHOWING UP IN PRIVATE BROWSING CAN YOU EXPLAIN????????
Safari: Website links cannot be removed and this has been happening for a while long before the update and after the update ..you think you have removed the link and once again it reappears! Then when you contact you Apple about it you have the check to want to go into my bank account for iCloud storage charges it would seem money is your only objective not providing products that work it would seem it common practice that every time I contact you you are knocking on my door for money!? Is that acceptable?! no! Fix your items in the last iCloud syncing many of my items did not show up once again and are now lost thanks to you! After once again being stalked on your privacy phone I had to reinstall my phone and again data has been lost!
