Master Safari in High Sierra

Make every website look and work the way you want it to

Explained Browse around these improvements A Website settings

On visiting a website, choose Safari > Settings for This Website. A pop-up menu will appear under the address bar, which gives you a number of display and behavior settings you can tweak, affecting only this site.

B Reader view

Reader strips the cruft from pages (if they have enough text), leaving only the essential page content. Previously, you had to manually trigger it. Now, you can have it automatically activate on compatible web pages.

C Page Zoom

Safari has 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 favorite site has text that’s a bit too small for you to read comfortably.

D Auto-Play

By default, Safari stops all media with sound from playing, yet it allows that which does not have sound to automatically play. You can override this to allow all media to play, or you can go further and stop all distracting content from playing without your explicit permission.

E privacy Permissions

Some sites ask for permission to use your Mac’s camera, microphone, or location. In each case, you can use the relevant pop-up menu in this sheet to decide whether you’re happy to grant access (Allow) or not (Deny) to the site you’re currently viewing.

F Preferences

Safari’s preferences have been updated to include these new site settings. In place of the Notifications tab there’s now one named Websites, containing sections for everything we just mentioned. You can change website notifications settings here too.
