What is the default web browser on macOS?

The default web browser on macOS is Safari. This means that when you click on links or open web pages from various applications within macOS, they will automatically open in Safari unless you have explicitly set a different browser as the default.

Safari is designed to work seamlessly with macOS and is optimized for performance and efficiency on Apple devices. It integrates tightly with features like Handoff, which allows users to continue browsing on their iPhones or iPads, and utilizes system technologies like Apple’s privacy and security features.

Other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer are not the defaults on macOS. While they can be installed and set as the default by users, they do not come pre-installed as the primary browser on Apple’s operating system.
