How to enable and set up the Privacy Report feature in Safari?

The Privacy Report feature in the Safari browser allows users to see in real-time how websites process their personal data and which trackers are trying to collect information about their internet activity. This useful option helps to better understand the level of personal data protection while surfing and take necessary security measures in time on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

To open the report on Macs, open the Safari browser, go to the File section in the top menu, and select New Privacy Report Window. You can also configure a special icon to be displayed on the toolbar for quick one-click access to statistics.

The opened window displays summary information for the last thirty days. You will see the total number of blocked trackers, a list of companies that most frequently tried to track your actions, and the percentage of websites where covert data collection attempts were detected. Click on any suspicious site from the list to examine in detail which specific trackers were used on it and successfully blocked by the browser's built-in algorithms.

On mobile devices running iOS or iPadOS, the algorithm of actions looks a bit different, but provides a similar level of detail. Open a new tab in Safari, find the report block on the start page, and click on it to view detailed analytics. If this block is missing from the home screen, it can be easily added through the start page appearance settings.

Regular monitoring of the privacy report allows you to identify unscrupulous resources and timely restrict their activity. The built-in intelligent tracking prevention in Safari works automatically, but it is the detailed report that provides a complete understanding of how effectively your digital privacy is protected in your daily work on the web.
