0:21
emphasis on fast and easy search now
0:24
unlike the AI powered tools like chat
0:25
GPT or Google's AI search this isn't
0:28
generating an answer it's Gathering the
0:31
top search results and summarizing them
0:33
for you so as long as you can trust the
0:35
results which you can easily check
0:37
because it cites its sources you can
0:39
trust the answers you can ask it about
0:42

handful of Select websites but it is a
4:04
nice option to have if it suits your
4:06
needs find it here on the App Store your
4:09
Apple watch can browse the web you can
4:11
open links sent to you in messages or in
4:13

4:16
can use to browse the web yourself but
4:19
others have stepped in you browser or
4:22
potentially micr browser or Mew browser
4:26
is a simple web browser for Apple's
4:28
smallest screen screen type in or
4:31
dictate a URL and it'll go wherever you
4:34

4:40
double tap gesture and hope for the best
4:43
but for reading at least you can access
4:45
reader mode by tapping on the title bar
4:47
YouTube videos don't play either not
4:50
that you would want to on such a tiny
4:52
screen you can pin websites as bookmarks

5:11
private way to browse the web for free
5:15
while it won't run as fast as a paid VPN
5:17
service you get all the same benefits
5:19
encrypted traffic that leaves a very
5:22
hard footprint to trace it also lets you
5:24
access the dark web areas of the
5:27
Internet only accessible through tour
5:29
and not regular web browser the name is
5:32
much more frightening than the kind of
5:34
boring reality it's just drugs
5:37
cryptocurrency and a bunch of scams

5:41
cryptocurrency except every website
