A Safari of Tips for the Mac's Web Browser

handle is hein.journals/gpsolo38 and id is 380 raw text is: MAC USER A SAFARI OF TIPS FOR THE MAC'S WEB BROWSER By Brett Burney Iv Y ou can't get through a workday without opening your web browser-it's almost become the modern- day operating system given how much software we run through it, including email, legal research, practice management, time tracking, and so much more. All Mac computers come with the Safari web browser that Apple released in 2003. You're free to use other web browsers, but Apple has vastly improved the Safari browser over the years, and it makes sense that it's the second-most-popular browser behind Google Chrome world- wide. The Microsoft Internet Explorer browser used to be the default on Macs until 2003, and today you can also download and run the Microsoft Edge browser. My recommendation for most Mac users is to keep Safari as your default browser because it's so integrated into the macOS, but you can certainly download and run Google Chrome side by side. Both browsers are always open on my Mac because there are some services that just work a tad better in Chrome. But Safari is my web workhorse and remains my preferred window to the Internet. In that spirit, I wanted to share a few tips for getting the most out of Safari on your Mac. If you're lucky enough to have already upgraded to macOS Monterey, then you'll have a few addi- tional features available such as Tab Groups, but the tips below will still work just fine, regard- less of what version of macOS you're running. SETTINGS IN SAFARI'S PREFERENCES First, let's go into Safari's Pref- erences (from the menu or hit Command + comma), where you can tell Safari what you want to use as your default search engine. Click on the Search tab in the Preferences box, and you'll see that Google is selected, but you can change that to Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. When you type in Safari's Smart Search Field (the URL box), this search engine is what Safari will use to show you relevant hits. Back on the General tab in the Preferences box, I like to tell Safari to open All windows from Setting your default search engine GPSOLO I September/October 2021 1 ambar.org/gpsolornag 72
