Ho w to Do more with Safari
1 Reopen closed tabs
Mistakenly closed a tab? Use History > Reopen Last Closed Tab or Cmd+Shift+T. To see tabs from further back, check the Recently Closed submenu there. If you’ve just closed the tab, pressing Cmd+Z also works.
2 Set page zoom level
To zoom in or out of a page, hold Cmd and press + or -. To make a specific site the same zoom level, go to it, choose Safari > Settings for This Website, then click the desired level of magnification.
3 Manage your history
If you don’t want a page visit recorded in your history, choose File > New Private Window or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+N. This renders it invisible to any and all iCloud devices.
4 More history
Go to History > Show All History for a list of all the pages you’ve visited over time. Find one you want to remove, then Ctrl-click it and delete. It‘s removed from Macs/iOS devices signed in to your iCloud account online.
5 Protect against phishing
With the status bar, you can put the pointer over a link to check its destination before you click, to avoid being misled. It’s off by default so to turn it on, use View > Show Status Bar.
6 Remove a site’s cookies
To manage website data stored on your Mac on a site–by–site basis, choose Safari > Preferences > Privacy and click ‘Manage website data’. Browse the list to find the rogue site and click Remove.
7 Show full address
By default, Safari only shows the top–level domain of sites you visit. Annoying if you’re unsure that clicking an internal link worked. Fix it with Safari > Preferences > Advanced and turn on ‘Show full website address’.
8 Always view in Reader
Reader makes pages easier to read by removing distracting clutter. To make this the standard, visit a site, then go to Safari > Preferences > Websites > Reader and click On in the site’s row.
9 Increase font size
Have trouble reading text on websites? You can up Safari’s minimum font size. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Next to the Accessibility heading, turn on ‘Never use font sizes smaller than’, and pick one.
