Browse privately in Safari on Apple Vision Pro
You can use Private Browsing Mode, view the Privacy Report, and adjust settings in the Safari app to keep your browsing activities private and help protect yourself from malicious websites.

View the Privacy Report
Safari helps prevent trackers from following you across websites and from seeing your IP address. You can review the Privacy Report to see a summary of trackers that have been encountered and prevented by Intelligent Tracking Prevention on the current web page you’re visiting. You can also review and adjust Safari settings to keep your browsing activities private from others who use the same device, and help protect yourself from malicious websites.

Use iCloud Private Relay to browse the web with more privacy
When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use iCloud Private Relay to help prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you. When iCloud Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your Apple Vision Pro is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and exact location while it prevents network providers from collecting your browsing activity in Safari.
See Protect your web browsing with iCloud Private Relay on Apple Vision Pro to learn how to:
Turn iCloud Private Relay completely on or off for your Apple Vision Pro.
Turn iCloud Private Relay on or off for a specific Wi-Fi network.
Turn iCloud Private Relay off temporarily.
Set the specificity of your IP address location.
Temporarily allow a website to see your IP address
If a website relies on IP filtering, monitoring or rate-limiting, it might require your IP address to be visible. You can turn off iCloud Private Relay temporarily for that website only.
Note: iCloud Private Relay is not available in all countries or regions.
Go to the Safari app
on your Apple Vision Pro.Tap
Tap Show IP Address (if available).
Your IP address remains visible to that website until you leave the website or close its Safari tab. iCloud Private Relay remains on for other websites or Safari tabs.
To turn off or pause iCloud Private Relay for all websites, see Protect your web browsing with iCloud Private Relay on Apple Vision Pro.
Control privacy and security settings for Safari
Go to Settings
Prevent Cross-Site Tracking: Safari limits third-party cookies and data by default. Turn this option off to allow cross-site tracking.
Hide IP address: Safari automatically protects your IP address from known trackers. For eligible iCloud+ subscribers, your IP address is protected from trackers and websites as you browse in Safari. If this option is off, your IP address isn’t hidden.
Fraudulent Website Warning: Safari displays a warning if you’re visiting a suspected phishing website. Turn this option off if you don’t want to be warned of fraudulent websites.
For more options, tap Advanced at the bottom of the Privacy & Security window, then turn any of the following on or off:
Block All Cookies: Turn this option on to prevent websites from adding cookies to your Apple Vision Pro. (To remove cookies already on Apple Vision Pro, go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.)
Check for Apple Pay: Websites that use Apple Pay can check to see if you have Apple Pay enabled on your Apple Vision Pro. Turn this option off to prevent websites from checking if you have Apple Pay.
Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement: This prevents websites from viewing your personal information to serve you targeted ads.
When you visit a website that isn’t secure, a warning appears in the Safari search field.
