Along with all of the features you probably expect in a newer browser, such as tabbed browsing and private browsing settings, Safari offers a great deal of added functionality.

In regards to Parental Controls, Safari features settings that are easy to customize, allowing you to promote a child-safe environment. In other browsers, these controls are not easily configurable and usually require third-party downloads.

In addition Safari is, for the most part, open source which allows developers to create plug-ins and add-ons to enrich your browsing experience even more.
