You can't delete and reinstall Safari. If you do a factory reset, that will install a new version of Safari.
There are other IOS browsers available. Go to the App Store to find/download a different browser.
Instructions for doing a backup. See the Apple Support article(s) below.

I went through forced restart with no results. Don’t understand “hard reset” and am concerned with restoring just to solve the Safari issue. Do I have a choice of using an alternative to Safari? An Safari be deleted and reinstalled? I really need a solution that doesn’t include possibly losing all of my data.
Thanks so much for your response.
I still can’t use Safari. Regardless of a reset and forced reset, the search page still doesn’t accept typing on the page. I don’t know if I have the expertise to do a factory reset and backup from the cloud. I don’t know if my data is fully backed up.
Can I use an alternative to Safari as my browser? I hate to do that because I also have a new iPad and Mac Air, but I don’t know if If I have a choice. Is there a way to delete and reinstall Safari.
Please help.
