Safari

My favorite browser. It is incredibly fast & cares about my privacy unlike Chrome.

Here are websites I have in my Favorites which are usually sites I want super fast access to from iOS Safari:

As it is my most used app, I like to script and automate as much of my use of it as possible.

I use this amazing workflow to quickly jump between my currently active Safari tabs as well as search through my history and bookmarks.

I also open any of my most used websites using KM macros. The macro opens the website I specify or if the website is open anywhere in Safari and will jump between the tabs of the website. I use this macro for my most used websites and I can open any website I wish with a single keypress. Both open and switch between various websites.

I mention Safari Extensions I use here.

My favorite of which is Vimari which adds a custom layer of keybinds you can customize to personalize your browsing experience.
