    Safari tab closing problem

    Whenever I use Command W on my Mac mini M1 to close a tab on Safari, this shows up. It also does this when I use the shortcut on my MX Master 3 mouse thumb button to close a tab. However, if I click the scroll wheel on a tab it is not a problem; it only closes 1 tab. Any suggestions?

    How do I export Safari bookmarks?

    I can't sync the bookmarks on my iPad Pro to Safari on my MacBook Pro (2013) because it's too old and can't even update anymore. That means I can't export them at all, unless there is a way to export them on the iPad directly. I don't want to manually copy them over to Chrome or copy paste each...

    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?

    Are you using Safari's compact tabs mode?

    Are you using Safari's compact tabs mode? What are you thoughts on it? I noticed that the top bar's color changing to match the website works only in the compact mode and I kinda like it.

    Before the update, when opening Safari, the default was the blank page with my favorites' icons displayed there, same behavior for opening a new window or tab. Post update, when launching Safari, the page is just blank. No icons, no nothing. Only when opening a new tab or new window are they...

    Make Safari open in "Personal (default)" profile when no focus mode is active.

    Ok, something that's been driving me crazy. Weeks ago I decided to actively use Focus modes in macOS (and iOS) and Profiles in Safari. It's pretty basic : macOS "work" Focus = Open Safari in "Work" profile. Work well enough. But it seems that when you have no active "macOS Focus mode"...

    iPad Safari fullscreen popup

    Ever since updating iOS 17, the Safari popup “___ is in full screen. Swipe down to exit” has been an unnecessary useless feature which degrades the user experience. I don’t want to see Safari tell me my window is in full screen every time I open a Youtube video. On top of that, Apple needs to...

    Compatible Cards Option in Wallet & Apple Pay Settings

    I’m a little uncertain as to how this feature works. Apple says “turn on this option to check that cards saved in Safari AutoFill work with Apple Pay and to use those cards in Wallet.” Does this mean that cards I add to Safari AutoFill will be automatically added to Wallet if they work with...

Or it reloads the current page sooner. It’s one or the other, but it hardly goes back. The only way...
