Apple Launches Safari Push, Claiming 5 More Hours and 35% Faster Loads Than Chrome

3 articles · Updated · iClarified · Oct 12

Summary

  • Apple rolled out a “Switch to Safari” campaign with a dedicated webpage and two YouTube videos aimed at persuading Chrome users to change browsers.
  • The pitch centers on three claims: Safari delivers up to 5 more hours of video streaming on Mac, blocks more tracking, and loads frequently visited sites up to 35% faster than Chrome.
  • Apple’s comparison page also highlights features including Reader Mode, Notify Me, Profiles and Apple Pay, while the videos showcase Distraction Control and Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
  • The campaign extends Apple’s broader head-to-head marketing against Google’s browser after an earlier “Privacy on iPhone” push framed Safari as the more private alternative to Chrome.
