Safari is one of the fast and most reliable web browsers developed by Apple inc. It is the default web browser on all Apple devices. Like other web browsers, it has to be updated regularly to remove the bugs and get the latest security updates. It also helps the browser to run smoothly while browsing larger web pages. If you’re a Mac user, you can update the Safari browser from the App Store or via built-in macOS settings.
