Safari, The Browser That is Actually Private

VPN
1

Apple user here but usually using Chrome for browsing.

I regularly relentlessly see the promoted ad here on Reddit and it made me curious. I tried it to see if it was really private. My only test was to see if it behaved like a VPN. Result, it did not.

I fell into using Chrome because a trusted independent Apple technician recommended Chrome, Malwarebytes and ClamXAV as my foundation for safe browsing. I also use a VPN for travel.

Does Safari offer a VPN like feature that I am unaware of?

You could take a look at Apple’s technical explanation about Private Relay.

Safari is private, but if you want to hide your IP, you’ll need a VPN. Apple offers a VPN through their iCloud service.

Is that actually considered as VPN?

5

nah, it’s not a vpn, but it helps you mask everything important

I think it only masks your IP through Safari.
