Quickly search Safari bookmarks and history

If you frequently dig through your browser history to find a Web page you looked at a few days earlier (or accidentally closed a few seconds ago), or peruse your bookmarks to revisit a page you saved months ago, today’s hint can help you find those pages more quickly than by browsing menus or venturing into Safari’s Bookmarks screen.

You could do this using Mac OS X’s Spotlight feature, which searches your Safari bookmarks and history; however, Spotlight also searches everything else on your hard drive, making it an inefficient way to find something specific to your browser. What few people know is that Safari has its own “quick search” feature, hidden in an unexpected location.

To perform a Safari-specific search, you simply click on Safari’s Help menu—or, if your fingers prefer to remain on the keyboard, press Command+?—and enter your search term. Instead of searching just Help documents, OS X also searches your Safari history and bookmarks—or, more specifically, the title of each Web page in your History and Bookmarks menus.

The results of your search appear instantaneously in the Menu Items section of the Help menu—listed first are history items, followed by bookmarks. (Results from Mac OS X Help are listed at the bottom of the menu next to Help Topics.) Mouse over a result, or use the up- and down- arrow keys to highlight it, and OS X will show you exactly where in the History or Bookmarks menus that Web page resides. Click the page name—or press Return—to open the Web page in Safari.

(This “feature” is really just a side effect of the fact that the OS X Help system searches the current application’s menu commands to make it easier to find a particular command; since your bookmarks and history items are listed in Safari’s menus, they get searched, as well. This means that to include Safari’s bookmarks bar in these searches, you must enable the Safari setting to include the bookmarks bar in the bookmarks menu. Of course, if you’ve created additional bookmark folders outside of the bookmarks menu or bar, those folders won’t be searched.)

For example, in the screenshot below, I was looking for a specific site I visited while checking for the latest versions of the screen savers I covered last week. The search for “screen saver” found six results in my history and two in my bookmarks; when I highlighted one of the history results, OS X showed me the name of the site and the date on which I visited it.

There are a couple limitations to this approach to searching Safari compared to a full-blown Spotlight search. The first is that whereas standard Spotlight queries, as well as queries you initiate in Safari’s Bookmarks/History screen, search both the title and the content of every Web page, the Help-menu version searches only the title. The second issue is that the Help menu is often too narrow to view each site’s name, especially for history results, where each site’s name is preceded by the day and date you visited it; in these cases, you need to highlight an item to view its name. (Bookmarks are displayed with the folder name preceding the name of the page, so you’ll have the same issue with long bookmark-folder names.)

I find myself using Safari’s “hidden” search feature several times each day to quickly revisit a site. It’s also useful when I accidentally close a tab or window, and it’s especially convenient if, like me, you prefer keyboard shortcuts to mousing about: just press Command+?, type a few characters, and then use the arrow keys to select the desired site from the search results.

Oh, and here’s a related bonus hint: If you’re using 1Password 3, and you enable 1Password’s Show In Top Menu Bar setting, Safari’s Help-menu search will also search your 1Password logins, letting you quickly open and log in to a Website.

How to Manage Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari on Mac: A Complete Guide

Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari help you keep track of your favorite sites and visit them instantly. Here's how to master them.

Bookmarks and Favorites in Safari are easy ways to keep track of interesting sites you want to visit again later and your favorite sites you visit often. Bookmarks and Favorites have similar, but slightly different, purposes.

Use bookmarks to save links for sites you want to visit again later. Use Favorites to store links to a select few sites you visit often or every time you open Safari.

We'll explain how to manage your bookmarks and Favorites in Safari so you can make the best use of them and keep them organized.

Managing Bookmarks in Safari

Browser bookmarks can quickly get out of hand, especially if you bookmark a lot of sites. So it's a good idea to start organizing your bookmarks into folders early on to keep them under control. But it's never too late to get organized. It just might take a while if you have a large, unorganized collection of bookmarks.

How to Create Bookmark and Favorites Folders

Before adding a bookmark for a site, create a folder to put the bookmark in. First, click Show sidebar , or press Cmd + Control + 1 .

Make sure the Bookmarks button is selected (blue) at the top of the sidebar. Either right-click or Control -click anywhere in the sidebar and select New Folder .

Your Favorites are at the top of this sidebar and you can also use this method for creating Favorites folders.

Enter a name for the folder and press Enter .

To create a new folder in the Bookmarks editor, click New Folder in the upper-right corner of the page.

If you want to add multiple existing bookmarks to a new folder, select the bookmarks and hold down Option as you click New Folder . The selected bookmarks are added to the new folder that you can rename as mentioned above.

How to Add Bookmarks

To add a new bookmark and customize the name, description, and location, click the Share button in the upper-right corner of Safari. Select Add Bookmark .

This enters a default name for the bookmark based on the website title. But you can change the name if you want.

You can also add an optional description for the bookmark, which helps you remember why you bookmarked a page in the first place.

The first time you add a bookmark in Safari, the default folder is Favorites . We'll talk about adding Favorites later. For now, we're going to add the bookmark to the new folder we created above.

Select the folder from the Add this page to dropdown list and click Add . The folder you select becomes the default folder next time you add a bookmark.

To quickly add a bookmark, move your mouse over the address bar. Click and hold the plus icon on the left side of the box.

Select a bookmarks folder from the dropdown list. Safari adds a bookmark with the default name of the page to the selected folder. We'll show you how to edit a bookmark later.

You can also add the page to your Favorites by selecting Favorites or a Favorites folder.

How to Move and Copy Bookmarks and Folders

If you already have a bunch of bookmarks , you can organize them into folders or rearrange them.

Drag the bookmark to a folder or another location on the sidebar. To copy a bookmark instead of moving it, hold down the Option key while you drag it.

This method also works for rearranging Favorites.

How to Rename Bookmarks and Folders

To rename a bookmark or folder, right-click or Control -click on an item in the sidebar and select Rename . You can also force-click to rename. To do this, click and hold on the item until its text highlights.

If you're in the Bookmarks editor, select the bookmark or folder you want to rename, and press Enter .

Enter a new name or change the current one, and press Enter to accept your changes.

This also works for renaming Favorites.

How to Edit the URL for a Bookmark

Safari contains a Bookmarks editor that allows you to edit and delete your bookmarks and Favorites. Go to Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks .

Use the same method we described for renaming bookmarks to change the Address for a bookmark or Favorite. The editor also allows you to edit Website names, but you can't add bookmarks or Favorites in the editor.

How to Edit the Description for a Bookmark

You might want to add descriptions to your bookmarks, so you know why you saved the link to that page. If you forgot to do that for some of your existing bookmarks, you can edit their descriptions.

You can only edit the description for a bookmark on the sidebar, and only if the bookmark is in a folder. This is another good reason for putting bookmarks into folders.

To edit the description for a bookmark, double-click the folder containing the bookmark on the sidebar to expand it. Then, Control -click the bookmark you want to edit and select Edit Description .

The description is highlighted, allowing you to enter new text.

How to Delete Bookmarks

If your bookmarks are cluttered, you may want to delete old ones you don't use anymore.

On the sidebar, either right-click or Control -click the bookmark you want to delete and select Delete .

To delete multiple bookmarks, Cmd -click the bookmarks and press the Delete key.

You can also click and hold on the bookmark's name until it's highlighted. Then click the X to the right of the name.

Both methods also work for deleting Favorites.

How to Search Through Your Bookmarks

If you have a lot of bookmarks, you might find it hard to locate a certain one, even if you've organized them into folders. Thankfully, Safari allows you to search through your bookmarks.

Enter the text you want to search for in the search box at the top of the sidebar or in the upper-right corner of the Bookmarks editor. On the sidebar, you might have to scroll up to see the search box.

Results of the search display as you type. Click on the bookmark to open the page in the current tab.

To clear the search and go back to the full list of bookmarks, click the X button on the right side of the search box.

How to Import Bookmarks From Chrome or Firefox

Have you switched to Safari from Chrome or Firefox ? You can easily import your bookmarks from either browser into Safari.

Go to File > Import From > Google Chrome or File > Import From > Firefox . Check the Bookmarks box on the dialog box and click Import .

You can do this at any time, even if you've imported bookmarks already.

Safari is smart enough to know which bookmarks you've already imported from Chrome or Firefox. So if you import bookmarks again, you'll only get new ones you added to the other browsers. Or if you've deleted some bookmarks you imported, you'll get those back the next time you import.

The bookmarks and folders from Chrome or Firefox are imported at the root level on the sidebar. Use the methods we covered above to rename and rearrange bookmarks and folders, edit descriptions, or delete any imported bookmarks you don't want.

How to Import Bookmarks From an HTML File

You might want to import your bookmarks into a separate folder automatically, so you can keep them separate from the bookmarks you already had in Safari.

You can accomplish this by importing bookmarks from an HTML file, which you can export from Firefox or Chrome. See our guide to exporting Chrome bookmarks for info on this.

Go to File > Import From > Bookmarks HTML File . Then select the HTML file you want to import and click Import .

The imported bookmarks are put into a folder titled Imported with the current date.

Managing Favorites in Safari

The Favorites bar sits just below the address bar at the top of the Safari window. It provides quick access to sites you visit often.

You can only specify one web page as your homepage. But what if you want to open multiple pages every time you open Safari? You can add your favorite pages to your Favorites and have quick access to them when you open Safari.

How to Show the Favorites Bar

Safari stores favorites on the sidebar and in the Bookmarks editor, as we showed you earlier. You can also access them on the Favorites bar.

If you don't see the Favorites bar under the address bar, click Toggle the favorites bar on the toolbar, go to View > Show Favorites Bar , or press Cmd + Shift + B .

Only a certain number of sites will fit on the Favorites bar, so it's best to limit the number of pages you add to your Favorites.

How to View the Favorites Page on the Current Tab

If you want to view and access your Favorites as thumbnails, you can open the Favorites page on the current tab. Go to Bookmarks > Show Favorites .

If you don't see Show Favorites as the first option on the Bookmarks menu, you must make a change in Safari's settings . Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select Favorites from the New windows open with popup menu.

Your Favorites are available as thumbnails on the current tab.

How to View the Favorites Page on a New Tab

If you want access to Favorites page when you open a new tab, go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Favorites from the New tabs open with popup menu. New tabs will now display the Favorites page, which includes Frequently Visited sites at the bottom. We'll show you how to hide the Frequently Visited sites section later.

How to View Favorites From the Smart Search Box

Use the Smart Search box, or address bar, as a quick way to access your Favorites page without leaving the current web page.

Click in the address bar to open the Favorites in a popup window. Then click the icon for the page you want to visit. The Favorites popup window goes away and the selected page opens on the current tab.

How to Change the Bookmarks Folder on the Favorites Page

By default, the Favorites page shows all your Favorites and the folders under Favorites. But you can change this to show only the Favorites in a Favorites folder or a folder of bookmarks.

Go to Safari > Preferences . On the General screen, select the folder you want to view from the Favorites shows popup menu.

The selected folder displays when you open the Favorites page on a new tab or from the Smart Search box.

How to Show/Hide Frequently Visited Sites in Favorites

If you don't want to see Frequently Visited sites at the bottom of the Favorites page, you can hide them.

Go to Bookmarks > Show Frequently Visited in Favorites . When the option does not have a check mark in front of it, you won't see the Frequently Visited sites on the Favorites page.

How to Open Your Favorites in Tabs When You Open Safari

If you visit the same pages every time you open Safari, you can add these pages to your Favorites and have them open in separate tabs when you open a new window.

To do this, set up your Favorites using the methods described earlier. Then go to Safari > Preferences .

On the General screen, select Tabs for Favorites in the New windows open with dropdown list.

Keep Track of Your Favorite Pages in Safari

Safari already offers great tools in the bookmarks and Favorites features. And they'll help you keep your favorite and important pages organized.

But if you want other options for managing your bookmarks, you can look through some great Safari extensions for bookmark management .

How to Manage Bookmarks on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

If you're a Safari user, you've likely found yourself saving bookmarks to websites you frequently visit. These bookmarks can help to save time, allowing you to easily navigate to your favorite websites with just a click of a button. However, as the number of bookmarks grows, it can become difficult to manage and organize them effectively. In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of bookmark management on Safari, including understanding bookmarks, adding and organizing them, and syncing bookmarks across devices.

Understanding Bookmarks in Safari

What are bookmarks.

At its core, a bookmark is a saved link to a webpage. Bookmarks typically live in the Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, or in one of your bookmark folders. When you click on a bookmark, Safari automatically takes you to that webpage, saving you time and effort compared to typing out the website address manually.

Bookmarks are a great way to keep track of your favorite websites and pages that you visit frequently. Whether it's a news site, a blog, or a social media platform, bookmarks can help you stay organized and easily access the content you want.

Importance of Organizing Bookmarks

It's easy to accumulate hundreds of bookmarks over time, making it difficult to find what you're looking for quickly. Organizing bookmarks into folders can help to alleviate this issue, allowing you to group similar bookmarks together. This makes it easier to navigate and makes it less likely that you'll accidentally click on the wrong bookmark.

When organizing your bookmarks, it's important to think about how you use the internet. Do you frequently visit news sites or social media platforms? Do you have a lot of bookmarks related to your work or hobbies? By creating folders based on these categories, you can quickly find the bookmarks you need without having to sift through a long list of links.

Another great way to organize your bookmarks is to use tags. Tags are keywords that you assign to your bookmarks, making it easy to search for them later. For example, if you have a bookmark for a recipe website, you could tag it with keywords like "recipes," "cooking," or "food."

Overall, organizing your bookmarks can save you time and frustration in the long run. By taking a few minutes to create folders and tags, you can easily access the content you want and keep your bookmarks tidy and manageable.

Adding Bookmarks in Safari

Safari is a popular web browser used by many people around the world. One of its most useful features is the ability to save bookmarks, which allow you to quickly access your favorite websites without having to remember their URLs. In this article, we'll show you how to add bookmarks in Safari and how to create bookmark folders to keep them organized.

Bookmarking a Webpage

Bookmarking a webpage is incredibly straightforward. When you find a webpage you'd like to save as a bookmark, simply follow these steps:

Click on the Bookmarks icon in Safari's Toolbar.

Select "Add Bookmark."

Choose the location of the bookmark, add a name, and select a folder for it to live in.

It's that easy! Once you've saved a bookmark, you can access it at any time by clicking on the Bookmarks icon and selecting the bookmark you want to open.

Creating Bookmark Folders

If you have a lot of bookmarks, it can be helpful to create folders to keep them organized. Here's how to create a new bookmark folder in the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu:

Right-click on the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu.

Select "New Folder."

Name your new folder something descriptive to help you remember what's inside it.

Once you have a new folder, you can drag and drop bookmarks into it to start organizing. For example, you might create a folder called "News" and add bookmarks to all of your favorite news websites. Or you might create a folder called "Recipes" and add bookmarks to all of the cooking websites you love.

By organizing your bookmarks into folders, you can quickly find the websites you need and keep your Safari experience clutter-free.

Organizing and Managing Bookmarks

Accessing the bookmarks manager.

Safari's Bookmarks Manager allows you to easily view and manage your bookmarks in a central location. To access the Bookmarks Manager, click on the Bookmarks icon in Safari's Toolbar and select "Edit Bookmarks." From here, you can view all of your bookmarks and folders, as well as edit and rearrange them.

Editing and Rearranging Bookmarks

The Bookmarks Manager allows you to edit your bookmarks' names, URLs, and folders. You can also rearrange bookmarks by dragging and dropping them into a new location. This can be useful if you'd like to change the order of your bookmarks based on frequency of use or other factors.

Moving Bookmarks to Folders

If you already have a set of bookmarks that are unorganized or in a single folder, you can move them into new or existing folders to help keep things organized. Simply select the bookmarks you'd like to move and drag them into the desired folder.

Deleting Bookmarks

If you come across a bookmark that is no longer necessary, you can delete it easily. Simply select the bookmark and press the Delete key on your keyboard, or right-click and select "Delete."

Importing and Exporting Bookmarks

Importing bookmarks from other browsers.

If you're switching to Safari from another browser such as Chrome or Firefox, it's easy to import your bookmarks. Simply click on File in the Menu Bar, select "Import From," and choose the browser you'd like to import from. Safari will take care of the rest.

Exporting Bookmarks for Backup or Migration

If you'd like to backup or move your bookmarks to another device, you can easily export them into an HTML file. To do this, click on File in the Menu Bar, select "Export Bookmarks," and choose the location you'd like to save the file to. You can then import this file into another browser or device.

Syncing Bookmarks Across Devices

Setting up icloud sync for bookmarks.

If you use multiple Apple devices such as an iPhone or iPad, you can sync your bookmarks across devices using iCloud. To enable this, open System Preferences on your Mac, select "iCloud," and make sure the "Safari" box is checked. On your iOS devices, open the Settings app, select your iCloud account, and make sure "Safari" is turned on. Your bookmarks will then be synced automatically.

Troubleshooting Sync Issues

If you're experiencing issues with syncing bookmarks across devices, make sure you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all devices. Also, ensure that Safari is turned on in iCloud settings for both your Mac and iOS devices. Additionally, check that you have a strong internet connection and that your devices have enough storage space available.

Managing bookmarks is an essential part of having an organized browsing experience, and Safari provides numerous tools to help make the process simpler. Whether you're adding, organizing, or syncing bookmarks across devices, Safari's user-friendly interface makes it easy to stay on top of your bookmark game. With this knowledge, you'll be able to keep your bookmarks organized, and you'll never have to waste time searching for a website again.

How to get the most out of Safari bookmarks before macOS Monterey

Safari gets some of the more visible updates in macOS Monterey, and they're likely to make you use bookmarks more. But there are already ways to make Safari bookmarks a key, organized research tool instead of the half-forgotten mess you've got now.

Plus working on your bookmarks now will help for when you move to macOS Monterey later in the year.

So right now you can pin your most important sites right there to top of Safari where they're always in reach. You can add more to Safari's Start Page so that they're available whenever you open a new tab.

Then you can also arrange more traditional folders with lists of bookmarks. Plus you can take every tab you have open now and bookmark each one with a single click.

What you can't do, incidentally, is then open all of those tabs together with a single click. You will be able to when macOS Monterey introduces Shortcuts to the Mac , or you can use any of multiple different third-party tools right now.

How to pin a site in Safari

• Navigate to a site
• Click and hold on the site's title underneath Safari's address/search bar
• Drag the site title to the far left
• Let go when the wide title tab becomes a small icon-sized one

This is easiest when you've opened the site in one of several tabs, but the same process works even when you have a single Safari window open with just one site. It just seems more visually quicker seeing when you've dragged it far enough.

If you have any problems seeing when Safari is turning the tab into a pin, you can instead right-click. Choose Pin Tab from the drop down menu and it zooms over to the left as a pinned site.

From now on you can click on that pin and it will take you to the site.

The pin survives on that left hand side of the title bar until you choose to remove it. It's also there in every single Safari window you open.

Only, this is one of many cases where bookmarks need you to have some restraint. Whatever you use bookmarks for, and however you save them, if you aren't careful, you end up with too many to manage.

You end up with so many that you stop looking through them at all.

With pinned tabs, in particular, limit yourself to the fewest that you know you will use all the time.

For ones that are important but hardly in hourly use, you can leverage Safari's Start Page. This doesn't work if you like Safari to always begin by opening, say, a news or weather site, though.

How to use Safari's Start Page

• Launch Safari
• Choose Preferences , General
• Under New windows open with , choose Start Page
• Then under New tabs open with , again choose Start Page

From now on, just opening a new Safari window or tab will show you the Start Page. Among other options on that such as a privacy report, you get a list of bookmarks.

This is really an icon grid view of your favorites. You can drag to re-order any bookmark or bookmark folder you can see.

What you can't do here is either add favorite bookmarks, or create folders.

How to add bookmarks

• On any one site, press Command-D
• Organize the new bookmark right away by choosing where to Add this page to
• Optionally, type a name for the bookmark
• Also optionally, write a description for it

Note that there's nothing stopping you doing this step repeatedly. Add the same site to many different folders, if you have them and if that's useful.

It would be good if you could create a folder through the Add Bookmark menu or keystroke, but instead you have to use the separate Add Bookmark Folder . Or at least you do if you're starting out by adding a single bookmark.

When you want to bookmark all of your open tabs, then you do create a folder.

How to add bookmark folders, starting with one site

• Choose Bookmarks , Add Bookmark Folder
• When Safari opens its Bookmarks sidebar, there will now be an Untitled Folder at the bottom
• Right-click on Untitled Folder and give it a name.

It's a little ugly that this just opens a sidebar and pops in an untitled folder. If you created a folder anywhere else on the Mac, it would be named untitled folder , but it would be highlighted, ready for you to rename. Not here.

How to bookmark multiple tabs at once and make a new folder

• Open a new Safari window and then new tabs for each site you want
• Navigate to a site in each tab
• From the Bookmarks menu, choose Add Bookmarks for These 3 Tabs... , or however many there are
• In the dialog box that appears, click on Add this bookmarks folder to...
• Type a name for the folder

This time there's no option to write a description of what you're bookmarking. There's also no way to add each site to the top level of your bookmarks. These tabs are going together in a new folder, you just get to decide where that folder goes.

It does make sense that all the tabs you bookmark together would be grouped in the same folder. Except there's currently no way, within Safari, of saying you then want to open all of these tabs together.

So you have to open them separately, but you can't save them separately.

This is true within Safari, but other apps can use these bookmarks. And Safari bookmarks do not have to live solely within the browser. You can, for instance, have the bookmarks in your Dock.

How to add Safari bookmarks to the Dock

• Navigate to a site in Safari
• Click in Safari's address/search bar until you see the site name and its icon to the left
• Click on and drag that icon to the far right side of your Dock

Most of your Dock is taken up with apps, but there is a thin vertical bar toward the far right side. From there to the Trash at very right edge of the Dock, you can see many different items, and drag more or less anything you like into there.

It's not terribly efficient to have a single site taking up space in your Dock, however. So instead, create a folder on your Desktop and drag many Safari sites into it.

Then drag that folder into the right side of the Dock. Now when you click on the folder icon, it will fan out to show you the bookmarks that are in it.

Opening multiple Safari bookmarks at once

Since you can click to go into a folder of bookmarks, it's frustrating that you can't double-click to launch Safari with tabs for every bookmark there.

You can, however, use Apple's AppleScript or Automator automations to work through a list of bookmarks and open them all one after another. Similarly, you can do the same with third-party apps such as Keyboard Maestro .

Plus in future, you will be able to use Shortcuts on macOS Monterey to do it.

Certainly in the case of the current macOS Big Sur options, though, you can't do this by pointing at a Safari folder. You have to separately copy out the sites' URLs and add them to your AppleScript or other automation.

Part of the whole point of bookmarks is to be organized. So having multiple copies of lists of bookmarks, probably getting out of sync, isn't ideal.

Yet the ability to save multiple sites, to group related ones into folders, and to make Start Page or pinned tabs for your most important sites, that is certainly ideal.

How to Easily Find and Manage Your Bookmarks in Safari?

Searching for bookmarks in Safari can be a time-consuming process. But with a few easy steps, you can quickly find the bookmark you’re looking for. Whether you use an Apple iPhone or iPad, or an Android device, here’s how to search your Safari bookmarks and make sure they are easily accessible when needed.

On Apple devices, finding your Safari bookmarks is simple. From the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad, open the Safari app and tap the Bookmarks icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. You will then be presented with a list of all your bookmarks; simply scroll through to locate the one you are looking for. Alternatively, if you have multiple folders containing bookmarks, you can tap on the folder icon at the top left corner of the Bookmarks tab to view different folders and their contents.

For Android devices, creating and searching for web clips (bookmark icons) is just as easy. First, go to the website that you want to create a web clip for and tap on the box-and-arrow icon used to create bookmarks. In the pop-up menu that appears, select Add to Home Screen and edit the name of your web clip if desired. Tap Add and an icon will be added to your home screen so it’s easily accessible when needed.

Finally, if you are using a Mac computer, all of your Safari bookmarks are stored in a hidden folder called ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks list on your Mac’s hard disk drive. To access this folder simply open Finder > Go > Go To Folder > type in ~/Library/Safari/Bookmark plist > click Go and all of your default Bookmark folders will appear along with any custom folders that you have created yourself!

With these easy steps in mind, searching for Safari bookmarks doesn’t have to take up too much time or energy anymore – no matter what device you’re using!

How can I replace bookmark button on iPhone Safari toolbar

I’m trying to switch from Chrome to Safari on my iPhone but it seems like all my primary tasks take twice as many clicks on Safari and it really slows things down.

I rarely add new bookmarks but that is one of the buttons front and center on the toolbar. Conversely, I constantly open new tabs while browsing but I’m forced to click on the tabs button and then find the “+” button on start page to open a new tab. It seems trivial but making this task take twice as long on Safari as it does on Chrome really adds up.

The bookmark button is useless to me and I need to swap it for a “+” button. Otherwise, I’m stuck using Chrome and can’t share links or passwords as easily with my Mac, reducing the benefit of using Safari on other devices.

You actually don't need to click anything. Simply tap and drag the address bar to the right to open a new tab automatically (can't be done from an empty Start Page). Additionally, you can switch between tabs the same way.

The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).
