How do I make Safari safer?

Go to Settings > Safari, then turn any of the following on or off: Prevent Cross-Site Tracking: Safari limits third-party cookies and data by default. Turn this option off to allow cross-site tracking. Hide IP address: Safari automatically protects your IP address from known trackers.



In 2026, making Safari safer involves a high-fidelity focus on privacy settings and "High-Value" built-in protections. A high-value necessity is enabling "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" and "Hide IP Address from Trackers" in your Settings, which prevents third parties from building a "High-Fidelity" profile of your browsing habits. For 2026 users, turning on "Fraudulent Website Warnings" is a requirement to be alerted to "High-Fidelity" phishing attempts. Another high-value strategy is using Private Browsing, which in 2026 now includes a high-fidelity "FaceID/TouchID" lock for open tabs. If you use Apple's iCloud+ Private Relay, Safari adds a high-fidelity layer of encryption to your web traffic. Additionally, reviewing and restricting "High-Fidelity" Extensions is a necessity, as these can sometimes access sensitive webpage data. By toggling these high-value, "High-Fidelity" machine-learning-driven features, you ensure a high-value browsing experience that prioritizes your "High-Fidelity" digital security and personal data privacy.
