Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is Safari so slow on my iPhone?
Software bugs and the pileup of cached files are the main reasons why Safari tends to become rather slow. Go to the Settings app -> Safari -> Clear History and Website Data.
2. Is Safari the best browser?
While there is no doubt that Safari is a top-notch browser in terms of security and efficiency, it can’t go head-to-head against Google Chrome which is widely regarded as the best browser.
