So to help you get the most out of your Safari experience, here i have gathered a list of Top 10 Safari Tips And Tricks For Mac Users.

 

What Is Safari?

The Safari web browser is the default for the iPhone, iPad, and macOS, first released by Apple in 2003 and briefly on Windows from 2007 to 2012. The popularity of the Safari browser exploded with the iPhone and iPad and currently accounts for 54% of the market share of mobile browser use in the United States.

In many ways, Safari is similar to any other popular browser. Users can browse websites, bookmark favorites, and open multiple sites within tabs. Safari, built using the WebKit engine, is one of the first web browsers to support the new HTML 5 standard. It is also one of the first browsers to support Adobe Flash by default, and mobile versions of Safari never support Flash.

 

Pin Tabs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are definitely a few sites you visit regularly. Keeping them close makes it easier to point them back. When a tab in Safari is pasted, it is tapped as the tab in the left corner. Paste a tab is incredibly easy, right-click on any open tab and select “Pin Tab” Rearranging pinned tabs is as easy as dragging tabs around each other until you get the setting you want.

 

Enable Picture-in-Picture for Every Site.

Picture-in-Picture is one of the best new parts of Safari that came with the macOS Sierra. Above all else, it is really beneficial to be able to watch a floating video. It works on many popular video streaming sites. On websites like Vimeo, you can find the Picture button in the picture in the bottom toolbar. But on YouTube, right-click to open the shortcut menu and right-click again. From there, select Enter Picture-in-Picture. The video will come out at once. You can then drag it to any corner of the screen. To exit Picture-in-Picture, click the small exit button to the left of the toy button.

 

Search Between Tabs.

Many people are in the habit of opening many tabs while browsing or working on the web. Safari helps you manage these tab overloads by tidying up the relevant tabs on the Tab Overview page. To access it, click View> tab Overview from the menu bar. When you are on this page, press the Control + F keyboard shortcut and you will see a search box at the top. Then you can quickly search all your tabs. To exit the tab overview page, click on any of its tabs.

 

Customize Safari Toolbar.

The Safari Toolbar is where your most important buttons go for everyday use. It includes your Home Button, Sidebar, Tab Overview, and more. Right-click anywhere on the toolbar and select “Customize Toolbar”. You can then drag any item to the toolbar. After dragging all the icons you want to use, click “Done” and all your changes will be saved.

 

Change Your Search Engine.

Like most browsers, Safari allows you to select several different default search engines. By default, Safari is enabled with Google, but this is not the only option you have. Go to Safari, Preferences, and open the preferences window. Click on the “Search” tab.You will immediately see a drop-down box that allows you to choose between Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.

 

Save Pages as PDFs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For whatever reason, if you ever want to export a website as a PDF, Safari makes it very simple. Go to the page you want to save, then click on the file and “Export as PDF.” The last step left is to select the location where you want to save the page to your hard drive. You can refer to the PDF at any time, and it will automatically open in Safari, Preview, or PDF Viewer of your choice.

 

Safari Reader.

The Safari Reader diverts all attention from any available website, allowing you to continue to view the content of your choice. Note that it does not work on every website, but it does work on most websites. To enable the reader, click on the four-row icon next to the “+” button to the left of the URL. The park can be seen by pressing that button. Clicking on it again will take you away from the viewer.

 

Mute Tabs.

Disappointing automated game videos are common on the web. Often, all of a sudden you are not sure exactly where the audio is coming from. Fortunately, Safari tags an audio playing tab with a small speaker icon. Better yet, you’ll see a speaker icon in the address bar, no matter where the audio is playing. Click the speaker icon in the tab or address bar to mute the tab. You can right-click the speaker icon in the address bar to mute tabs other than the one you are viewing.

 

Use iCloud Tabs.

iCloud Tabs is a smart feature that allows you to access and control open tabs in Safari on your other Apple devices. After you click on the Tab Overview page , look at the bottom to see if your other devices and tabs are open on them. From there, you can close tabs on those devices or open a tab on another device on your Mac.

 

Use Look Up.

Safari has a very small feature called Lookup, which lets you learn more about a word or phrase on a page you visit. Select the text on the page, right-click [word or phrase] or long-click on your trackpad. Below you will see a popup window that gives you a definition and other options based on the word or phrase. So you can see the iTunes Store, TV shows, Siri Knowledge and other sources.
