With the release of the new version of MacOS for the Mac, Apple has also updated its Safari browser . Safari has many new features, greatly improving the speed of loading sites and providing a cleaner and more essential interface. On a Mac Safari computer is perhaps the best browser and although Chrome has many more features thanks to its apps and extensions, Safari, with its lightness and perfect integration with the MacOS system, seems to be faster and more fluid and seems also consume less battery.
It is therefore worth seeing the best features of Safari in MacOS, the options and news of this browser .
1) Bring back the Favorites bar
The bookmarks bar in Safari seems to have disappeared, but of course it's only hidden by default.
This is because most recent bookmarks and sites have been grouped in the drop-down menu that appears by clicking on the address bar.
If you prefer to bring the classic favorites bar back into view, you can simply press the shortcut Cmd + Shift + B or go to the View menu at the top.
2) Full URLs
Safari truncates URLs by default. For example, even if you open an internal page of the Navigaweb.net site, you cannot see the complete URL but only www.navigaweb.net. To go back to see the full addresses of the sites and web pages, go to Preferences -> Advanced and enable the option.
3) Safari sidebar as a mini RSS reader
In Safari there is a sidebar that can be used to view links shared by people followed on Twitter. You can also use this bar to view updates of your favorite sites, so you can see the titles of the new articles. To make the sidebar appear, go to the View menu and activate it or use the shortcut Cmd + Shift + L.
At any time while browsing, you can click the share button, located to the right of the address bar, to add the site you are looking at as a shared link.
4) Customize the toolbar
The new aspect of Safari is minimalist so to see other buttons you need to right click on the empty space next to the address bar and customize the toolbar. You can drag them into buttons available in the toolbar and order them as you wish.
5) The initial card
At the top right corner of the browse there is a button to open a single page with a view of the previews of all the open tabs.
The pages of the same site will be grouped together.
6) Advanced search
The address bar is also a search field to find websites and also to search for things on Wikipedia and the Mac.
Safari therefore not only uses the selected search engine, but also Spotlight to search for favorites, history, Wikipedia, iTunes and maps.
7) Private browsing
Click on the File to open a new private browsing window that leaves no traces on the computer. The change in MacOS is that now only the new window and any new tabs created in that window will be in private mode, while the other already open windows remain in their normal state.
8) Sharing menu
MacOS (like iOS) allows you to easily share each web page on Facebook, Twitter, via Email or other social networks from its button next to the address bar. To add sharing options, you must first click on the share button and then on the button to add more. From the window that opens you can sort the sharing options by putting the most used ones first.
