    Creating Profiles in Brave

    Updated Brave to the latest version. Launched it and checked if everything was OK. All bookmarks made the transition just fine. Have never used profiles before. Created two of them, but noticed they were both void of any bookmarks or extensions previously visible prior to creating the profiles...

    Safari is connecting to every website in the Favorite Bookmarks Bar, even if you don't open any of them. That's not really privacy.

    Hello, since I am using the firewall Little Snitch again, I recognized directly after launching, Safari is connecting to all websites in the favorites bar in every profile I am opening a window for. I think it's just fetching some image as avatar for the websites. This isn't new, but I mostly...

    A few questions about Safari bookmarks

    These are about using Safari 17.5 in Sonoma. 1) How can I tell if the page I have open in Safari is already bookmarked (w/o having to search bookmarks)? This seems like such an obvious function that I feel like I must be missing something. 2) How do I search for bookmark folders in the...

    Safari Bookmarks and Reading List synchronization problems on macOS Sonoma

    Hi, I thought that I solved this issue, but it seems that I didin’t. Anyone knows which preferences files could affect the synchronization of Safari bookmarks and reading list on macOS Sonoma? The synchronization is too slow (sometimes days). I already reported to Apple and they say that there...

    iCloud Advanced Data Protection disrupts Safari bookmark sync - any solution?

    While I initially created a thread here on MacRumors with the problem I was experiencing before I figured out that Advanced Data Protection was causing it, my ongoing efforts at fixing this have been unsuccessful, so I wanted to post a proper, dedicated thread for visibility and reference for...

    Why is adding bookmarks in Safari so painful?

    Unless I'm being stupid...why is it so painful to add a bookmark in Safari? What I mean is, when you go to add a bookmark and then click on the "Add this page to:" drop-down menu, Safari shows you your entire expanded bookmarks directory. Everything. Everywhere. All at once. Not only is this...

    Shortcut to move Safari bookmark to top of sidebar?

    I'm using a 2019 i9 iMac running Safari 16.6 in MacOS Monterey 12.6.8. As you know, by default, when you create a new bookmark (cmd-D), Safari puts it at the bottom of the bookmarks list. But if it's a bookmark I plan to access frequenntly, I instead want it positioned towards the top...

    Do you use webloc files?

    Whenever I find a website I want to revisit, I highlight the address bar and drag it to a folder on my desktop. It creates a .webloc file I can double-click to revisit the site. Does anyone else do this? Also how many people use Stacks on their desktop? It's very amazing and helpful for...

    Safari Bookmarks not syncing correctly

    When I try to create folders or move new bookmarks, it doesn't sync correctly, or sometimes just leave it as is. I have installed Mac OS 13 as well as iOS 16 public betas. Is it because of the beta versions?

    Import Safari Bookmarks from folder?

    I had sync issues with my Safari bookmarks between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. In order to fix it, since I have thousands of bookmarks, I dragged everything except Favorites out to a folder on my desktop. Now when I try to drag them back in, Safari will only let me do that with individual...

    Google Chrome bookmarks

    Odd one. I use Google Chrome, and save my Bookmarks in it. Thus, being able to view them from any device. However, I have a few links that no matter me saving the bookmark, on my Mac Mini, iPad or iOS device, said bookmark does not show up on other devices. If I happen to delete or move...

    Automatically sort bookmarks in Safari

    I'm surprised I cannot find a simple utility to keep bookmarks sorted automatically. My long-standing favorite, Bookmark Sorter, has been working perfectly until MacOS 11.3, but I think it's abandoned and I cannot get any response from the developer on their site or via Twitter. Its options are...

    Anyone using Raindrop io for bookmarks?

    I'm looking into Raindrop io, it seems like a good bookmarks manager/sorter, and cross browser friendly. Does anyone have an experience using this app, or know of any similar apps? I'm kinda tired or organising my bookmarks in Safari, and I have many. Thanks

    Make Locations in My Guides Appear at Top of Search Results?

    One minor annoyance I have is when searching for a location I’ve saved in a Maps guide (bookmarked as a favorite, in other words), the results are always at the very bottom, beneath local suggestions. Is there any way to have these appear at the top, or should I suggest it to Apple?
