Maybe Safari Is a Good Choice on iOS 15

Apple has continued to improve Safari. Here are some features Apple has improved in the Safari present in iOS 15:

Improved Privacy

Browsers usually give too much information to the websites you visit. Apple has included a feature called Enhanced Tracking Prevention which keeps websites from acquiring your important data. Safari on iOS 15 is also capable of stripping the tracking code available on websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Improved Speed

One of the things you will be looking for in a browser is its speed. Safari has a higher speed on iOS 15. Launching the app and also using it to load websites is much faster.

Security code AutoFill

When logging in to websites such as Twitter and Facebook, you end up getting a security code via SMS. You have to copy and then paste the code into the browser. In Safari available on iOS 12, the messages will be recognized automatically. The code will be copied in the AutoFill suggestions appearing on top of your keyboard.
