**Safari** is the default browser in iOS. It includes [privacy features](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/browse-the-web-privately-iphb01fc3c85/15.0/ios/15.0) such as tracking protection, isolated private tabs, iCloud Private Relay to hide your IP address from trackers, and automatic https upgrade.
These options can be found in *Privacy and Security* (⚙️ Settings → Safari → Privacy and Security).
##### **Cross-Site Tracking Prevention**
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
<li>Toggle On: <strong>Prevent Cross-Site Tracking</strong>.</li>
</ul>
##### **Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement**
This is Apple's own implementation of private ad tracking. If you don't wish to participate, you can disable this feature.
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
<li>Toggle Off: <strong>Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement</strong>.</li>
</ul>
##### **Apple Pay**
If you do not use Apple Pay, you can toggle off the ability for websites to check for it.
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
<li>Toggle Off: <strong>Check for Apple Pay</strong>.</li>
</ul>
##### **Always-on Private Tabs**
Open Safari and press the tabs button at the bottom right corner. In the bottom middle press the downward facing arrow.
<ul style="list-style-type:none;padding-left:0;">
<li>Select: <strong>Private</strong>.</li>
</ul>
#### Sync
The synchronization of data is end-to-end encrypted. Safari does not encrypt bookmarks and they are accessible to Apple.
#### Extensions
We generally do not recommend installing [any extensions](https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/inside-safari-extensions-malware-golden-key-user-data/) as they increase your browser's [attack surface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_surface); however, if you want content blocking, [AdGuard for Safari](/browsers/#additional-resources) might be useful to you.
