Safari is the best way to surf the  
web on your Mac. Just click in the 
Smart Search field and see icons   
for your favorite websites, or type a 
search term or web address—Safari 
knows the difference and will send 
you to the right place. You can save  Safari
webpages to your Reading List to 
read later, and pin the websites you 
visit often, so they are open, up to 
date, and easy to access. The Tab 
view organizes all of your tabs and 
makes it easy to locate the one 
you’re looking for.
