Easy and useful tips for using Safari 5
Safari 5 is one of the best options when it comes to surfing the Internet with MAC platform because its new version is characterized by being more efficient and enhancing the user’s experience when surfing the Net. Safari 5 has, as any program does, some tips that will optimize the user’s time when using it.
One of them solves a common problem. Sometimes users close a tab by mistake or because they thought they didn’t need it anymore and then change their minds. To solve this simply press CMD+Z and the tab will be reopen. But this key combination won’t work if you filled in fields with information in that tab, since it will be lost and you’ll need to enter it again.
Another option is to add a Reload button and put it wherever you want to. Just go to Safari 5’s ‘Preferences’, then select ‘Advanced’ option and enable the checkbox “Show develop menu in menu bar”. Safari 5 will restart and a ‘Develop’ menu will appear in the menu bar. Within the options in this menu you must enable the extensions by downloading them. Now if you right-click on the browser’s bar, you can customize the tool bar and place the button wherever you want to.
The last tip is to disable the private browsing mode very easily. Click the icon that shows the browsing mode in the URL address bar. Take into account that you cannot enable the private browsing mode back again with this method, but this will be surely fixed in future versions.
