Safari by itself is great mobile browser but it lacks some features. That's where Safari Plus comes into play.
Safari Plus features a lot of stuff, ranging from small usability improvements to extensive new features.
Additionally, it also adds several options to customize Safari to your liking.
Each feature can be toggled on or off on demand inside settings.
