My favorite browser. It is incredibly fast & cares about my privacy unlike Chrome.
Here are websites I have in my Favorites which are usually sites I want super fast access to from iOS Safari:
As it is my most used app, I like to script and automate as much of my use of it as possible.
I use this amazing workflow to quickly jump between my currently active Safari tabs as well as search through my history and bookmarks.
I also open any of my most used websites using KM macros. The macro opens the website I specify or if the website is open anywhere in Safari and will jump between the tabs of the website. I use this macro for my most used websites and I can open any website I wish with a single keypress. Both open and switch between various websites.
I mention Safari Extensions I use here.
My favorite of which is Vimari which adds a custom layer of keybinds you can customize to personalize your browsing experience.
- It's useful to turn on
Show full website addressoption in settings.
- There's 500 open tabs limit on Safari. To clear tabs on iOS, long press the bookmark icon, then save all tabs into a folder. Can then open the tabs in the folder from macOS & clear or go through.
- Can right click on any DOM node in the inspector and grab a screenshot of that node
- Safari Extensions JS
