Apple has launched a new "Switch to Safari" marketing campaign that encourages Chrome users to switch to Safari as their web browser of choice on the Mac.
"Safari is a more powerful and private browser than Chrome," says Apple.
Apple has a new "Switch to Safari" page on its website that outlines more than 10 reasons that Chrome users should switch to Safari, including faster performance...
Apple is considering changes to Safari on the iPhone Duo that would give websites access to more of the outer display, although the company has yet to settle on an approach.

Top tip: when you’re on a web page and want to quickly open a new tab/page, just click in the area to the right of the address bar (now at the bottom in iOS15), or swipe the address bar left to do the same thing.
I thought for sure the Safari address bar changes would be something I'd immediately hate and turn off. But I actually kind of dig it. And absolutely loving tab grouping. :)
The tab/address bar on the bottom just makes sense. Pretty much from the beginning of app development, we realized putting the controls at the bottom was better. I don't know how it took this long to move the primary controls of a browser to the bottom also. This is especially better for larger devices.
Still, it's nice to have the option for those who can't handle change.

I also thought I would hate it but decided to give it a chance and am actually finding it fine.
I like having all the controls at the bottom but they need to work on making this as smooth as the old version was, for example getting to your bookmarks off the new tab, and closing tabs. Very clunky as it is. Don't understand why moving everything to the bottom means they had to change and add steps in how you get rid of tabs, start tabs and get into your favorites.
