About the Safari column.

Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention limits cross-site tracking, and Advanced Fingerprinting Protection reduces fingerprinting. Profiles separate work, school and personal browsing. Safari runs only on Apple devices. The Safari column above is based on these vendor sources.

Default desktop features as documented by the vendor in October 2026. Not a benchmark or security certification.
