Smart Safari Settings
Along with the riches galore found on the Internet are places in cyberspace where you're hassled.
You might want to take action to protect your privacy and maintain your security.
To get started, tap the Settings icon on the Home screen and then tap Safari.
The following settings enable you to tell your iPad mini what you want to be private and how you
want to set your security options:
Search Engine:
Tap the search engine you desire (just as long as that search engine happens
to be Google, Yahoo!, Bing, or Baidu).
AutoFill:
Safari can automatically fill out web forms by using your personal contact inform-
ation, usernames and passwords, or information from your other contacts. Tap AutoFill and
then tap the On/Off switch to enable or disable AutoFill.
• Tap
Use Contact Info
if you're comfortable using the information found about
your Contacts.
• Tap
My Info
to select yourself in your contacts so that Safari knows which ad-
dress, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other information to use when it fills
in a form.
• Tap the
Names & Passwords
On/Off switch to enable or disable Safari's capab-
ility to remember usernames and passwords for websites. You also get to decide
whether credit card information can be used and saved.
• Tap
Clear All
to permanently delete all saved AutoFill names and passwords.
Turning on AutoFill can compromise your security if someone gets hold of
your iPad.
Open New Tabs in Background:
Enable this, and when you open new tabs in Safari, they'll
load, even if you're reading a different page in another tab.
Favorites/Show Favorites Bar:
Appleletsyouquicklyaccess Favorite bookmarkswhenyou
enter an address, search, or create a new tab. If you're cool with this, leave the default setting
as Favorites. If you enable the Show Favorites Bar option, you'll be able to see Safari's Book-
marks bar between the smart search field and Tab bar.
Block Pop-ups:
Pop-ups
are those web pages that appear whether or not you want them to.
Often, they're annoying advertisements. But on some sites, you welcome the appearance of
pop-ups, so remember to turn off blocking under such circumstances.
