Safari
Do more with the Mac’s web browser
No new version of macOS would be complete without some new Safari features and improvements, and Sonoma is no exception. According to Apple, in macOS Sonoma, Safari is the world’s fastest web browser.
Private Browsing gets a significant update, helping you keep your web surfing even more private when needs must. You’ll now find that trackers are automatically blocked, and Private Browsing windows are locked when you’re not using them.
To further streamline your general Safari use, you can use Profiles (see p48 for more) to separate your browsing into user-defined categories. You can have one for websites associated with work, one for personal browsing, one for a specific hobby or subject you enjoy, and so on. The Profiles feature not only keeps your bookmarks separate, but also compartmentalises your cookies, history, extensions, Tab Groups and Favourites, so you can set up each browsing experience as you choose. If you use a site for both work and personal use with separate login accounts, you can sign into them separately and switch between them quickly.
