We customize the Safari on Mac or how to make perfection even better

First it was Steve who came up with Apple. Then came the second, and Steve came up with Apple II, marked the beginning of the era of personal computers. Then came Jef Raskin with her the Macintosh, the US military, who invented the internet and finally reappeared and Steve brought a NeXTSTEP operating system, which has grown from Mac OS X. And now, the Internet, and Mac OS X, merged in unison, gave rise to the crown of evolution, for which created the modern computer: Safari browser. About him something today and we'll talk.

Despite the poetic beginning, we will talk about prosaic - how to set up Safari so that it was the most convenient to use. After all, you're looking at through the prism of the Internet browser and the Internet, you sit all the time. We, as true professionals will keep your work area clean and tidy. Let's start with the most important: your bookmarks - the sites you visit most often. And do not say that every time Drives a site name manually: put a bookmark can have even your grandmother.

Bookmark this site can be a combination of keys «⌘D» or using the "Share" button. We strongly recommend that you make in the bookmarks only the most necessary, most visited sites, or this convenient panel to quickly turn into a dustbin. Remove the site from the bookmarks can be simply styanuv it from the panel - it will disappear in a low cotton. Further, the tabs can (and should) be combined into a folder - for example, "Work." If you are on duty have to visit many different sites, then do the following:

1. Click on the little book in the upper left corner

2. Open the bookmark menu. There go to the point of "Bookmarks" and the right mouse button click on the "Line" Favorites ","

3. Create a new folder,

which simply drag a all desired bookmarks. Done now Daddy cute to hang on your bookmarks bar. Clicking on a folder opens all sites contained therein.

The next thing you need to do - to clean up the toolbar. It must respond to everything that you do on the Internet - délites links with friends, go to the home page, open a new tab, see iCloud tabs, and so on. To do this, go here

and just over tighten the needed icons on the toolbar.

There is no universal recipe: someone loves to revise the history of his adventures on the internet, someone appreciates a useless beauty «Top Sites», - decide for yourself what you need. But remember: an excessive number of icons at the top of your browser turns it into Internet Explorer with the "Yandex Bar" and search by Mail.ru. So do not get carried away, we leave only the most nebhodimo. Remove icons can be boring as well as put: View / Customize Toolbar and tightens them down like bookmarks.

The next step we nebhodimo ask a search engine - it is going to the menu item «Safari / Settings".

How many would not have blamed Google, but it is the best search engine today. "Yandex" will leave the patriots and perversions like Bing will not even be considered. You can also set the home page - the site that will be opened in every new blank tab. We strongly recommend MacRadar.ru site. In these settings you can change the path where all the downloaded files are saved. Personally, I prefer the desktop, although many people do not confuse the need to open every time the "Downloads" after downloading the file.

Browser settings also contain wonderful item, which is called "password" (sorry, not a screenshot attached). If you forget the password of any account, you can look for it there - just type in to search for the name of the site.

Here, in the settings, there is an item "Extensions". Extension upgrade your browser and add to it the functions which it was originally there. They are downloaded from the Internet, installed as a normal program. Here, as with the toolbar, you can not advise anyone and everyone. I, for example, only two extensions: for downloading music from the famous site of Runet and banerorezka. Banerorezka need not all, because there are still people who like just such advertising:

But we have already earned on the iPhone, so the advice of others we are not interested.

In the settings, in general, there are a whole bunch of cool and useful, so we advise you to study them.

Safari, the Prometheus of the 21st century has brought us such a cool feature, as "reading list." It is available in the same menu "Bookmarks", you just need to click on the little book in the upper left corner, and then go to the tab "reading list":

In fact, it's the same bookmarks, only isolated in a separate place and available offline. The browser helpfully saves the page, so you can read it at your leisure anywhere where there is Internet. You can experiment: click on the plus sign next to the name of our site in the address bar, and then disconnect from the vayf and go to the reading list. You see, you can still read this article, although the life-giving power of the Internet has left your laptop. Is not it great?

For dessert we have in store, "General References".

This thing lets you see all the links posted on Twitter the people you are reading. First, the use of this function seemed doubtful, but later I found it an excellent replacement Reader'u RSS and Google, which quietly died while we were trying to learn it. Now, instead of having to check each individually interesting to me on the subject of the new site posts / photos, I subscribe to the appropriate Twitter account and follow the updates from one place - "General references". Of course, there are some disadvantages: in a fast stream of tweets can miss an interesting post, the source to which you signed, may forget to put a link to Twitter, and Twitter itself after subscribing to a bunch of people getting a little cluttered. On the other hand, when I Monitors twitter, I dread having to open each link separately, especially if I'm using the mobile client. Thus, this feature is a salvation for mobile Safari, but on the desktop version, it proved worthy.

And, of course, of course, in the desktop Safari is a function of «Reader», which leaves on the page Only text and draws it into the most comfortable for reading the web, free from any garbage. This is such a plantain for vyrviglaznyh sites of questionable content. If you brought it no easy -

then press the magic button Reader (it becomes blue when it detects a large array of text page)

and - voila! - you enjoy the article about how to become a vampire by using powder.

We are tired shamefully avert their eyes at the word «Flash», so the answer is honest: Yes, in Safari is not flush, there is no it at all throughout Mac OS X. No flash - no YouTube, so Max "100 500" is no longer pleases us with Matyuk, homeless people do not fight for shkalik vodka, and a new clip Stas Mikhailov sees only Putin. Of course, Flash can be set. You can even cheat and download Google Chrome. The Chrome, in general - a panacea for switchers. But then, they are switchers to drag a trail of flash, Khromov, .avi-containers and other Windows-paraphernalia. HTML5 goes leaps and bounds, and soon all the videos on the Internet can be viewed without a flush. Safari objectively It is the best browser for Mac OS X, and subjectively, too: for some unknown reason to me is much more convenient to use Safari, than Chrome, though, in principle, the functionality is the same. Maybe it - stupid sectarianism, and perhaps Apple really tried their best and they did so in order to no longer the need to tinker with third-party applications to register in Google and a thousand other bother reasons. But, however, what's the difference - if you still choose Safari, after this article seal viewing in the Internet becomes a little easier. I wish you happiness and good.
