About Safari
Safari is Apple's web browser. Apple's annual report mentions it as one of the products the company changed in the European Union to comply with the Digital Markets Act, together with iOS, iPadOS and the App Store. The filing gives no description of the browser itself beyond naming it as a registered Apple trademark within that regulatory discussion.
