Safari 11: A Major Leap Forward in Browsing Experience

Apple has been continuously evolving its Mail app to provide a better experience for users. In my testing, I found that the latest updates have made it easier to reply to messages by allowing me to refer to original and other messages while writing. Additionally, Mail now offers a better full-screen viewing experience by splitting the screen if you start a new draft.

The browsing experience has also seen significant improvements with Safari 11. Apple claims that this version is designed to be more power-efficient, promising an extra 2 hours of web browsing and 4 hours of Netflix streaming. This feature can be found in the preferences window under Websites and then Content blockers.

Another major addition to Safari 11 is its new privacy measures. The browser now disables cross-site tracking through cookies, a feature that Chrome won't have until next year. This means that users will no longer have to deal with targeted ads based on their browsing history.

In my testing of the browser, I was impressed by its ability to handle auto-playing audio for videos without any issues. None of the repeat offenders emitted a peep, and YouTube videos played smoothly without error.

The company's decision to fight against the worst part of web pages - auto-playing audio for videos - is a major step forward in improving the browsing experience. Apple claims that updates to the JavaScript engine in Safari make it the world's fastest browser, and my preliminary research confirms this claim.

In addition to these features, Photos now supports GIFs and automatically organizes them in a section called Animated, making it easier to share images via the photo browser in apps.

Overall, Safari 11 is a major leap forward in browsing experience, offering improved performance, privacy measures, and a better overall user interface.
