1 Website settings

On visiting a website, go to Safari > Settings for This Website. A pop-up will appear under the address bar, giving you a number of settings you can tweak specifically for that particular website.

2 Reader view

Reader view strips all the cruft from the websites you visit, leaving only the text and images on the page. Previously, it had to be manually triggered each time you needed to use it. Now, you can have it automatically activate on compatible web pages.

3 Page Zoom

Safari’s always enabled you to zoom the content of the current tab, but now you can set a zoom level on a per-site basis – ideal if you find a favourite site has text that’s a bit too small to read.

4 Auto- Play

By default, Safari will stop all media on a web page that’s got sound. You can override this setting by allowing autoplay. Alternatively, go further and stop all distracting autoplaying content.

Permissions 5

Some sites require permissions to your Mac’s camera, microphone, or location. In each case, you can use the relevant menu to decide whether you’re happy to give such permissions (Allow) or not (Deny).

Preferences 6

Safari’s Preferences have been updated to cope with these new settings. In place of the Notifications tab is the Websites one, with configuration sections for everything mentioned in the other steps.
