Creating bookmarks from tabs in Safari for better browsing
TIP: When reading web pages on the smaller screen of an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can put the
browser in full-screen mode — if you're running iOS 6, that is. Simply rotate the device to landscape
orientation and tap the Full Screen button ( ) at the bottom right of the screen. Tap it again to get
back the menu bar and status bar. Safari on the Mac also has a full-screen mode: Tap the Full Screen
button ( ) at the upper right of the window or choose View > Enter Full Screen. (When in full-
screen mode on the Mac, hover the pointer at the top of the screen until the menu bar appears, then
click the Full Screen button to revert to normal view.)
Stay Stealthy with Private Browsing
Like most browsers, Safari has a feature that prevents any information about the sites you
visit being recorded. It's called Private Browsing, and it keeps your entire browser session
private by not recording your history of pages visited, by blocking all cookies that websites may
use to track your presence (and remember previous visits), and by disabling the syncing of
iCloud Tabs with other devices. Private Browsing is perfect for when you're doing your holiday
shopping or planning a surprise on a shared device or a device that isn't yours.
On the computer version of Safari, you enable Private Browsing by choosing Safari > Priv-
ate Browsing on the Mac or > Private Browsing in Windows. The “Private” label appears in
the URL bar; click it to turn off Private Browsing.
On an iOS device, you enable Private Browsing in the Settings app's Privacy pane: Set the
Private Browsing Switch to On. In Safari, the normally blue and light gray menu bars turn to
black and dark gray as a reminder. Go back to the Privacy pane to turn off Private Browsing;
the standard Safari color scheme returns.
