    Stupid question: keyboard shortcut to bring current tab to favourites?

    I have it set so my new tabs open to my favourites. If I want to bring the tab I'm currently on to my favourites, how do I do that? Note that I know I can just click on the url bar to see my favourites but that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks

    Safari 7.1.8.pkg download?

    So my external SSD broke and I lost a few files I was hours away from backing up. One of those files was my Safari 7.1.8 installer (the last version for Mavericks before they jumped to 9.x and changed some visual elements). The direct download links from Apple's servers are dead, as with every...

    Images download instead of displaying in Safari

    Hi, I'm a web site publisher and often I have to look at just an image that is on the web site. Images display fine in Safari when I load a page, but if I load just the image (e.g. www.somewebsite.com/image.jpg), Safari downloads the image to my downloads folder instead of displaying it within...

    YouTube autoplay in Safari

    My Safari (v.9.1) prevents a Youtube video from starting unless I have that tab in focus. For me, this is annoying because I want music to play in the YouTube tab while I'm reading something on another tab. I don't want to have to go to YouTube, wait for the video to get going, then go back to...

    Google Maps and Safari WebGL

    Anyone else having an issue when accessing Google Maps via Safari? Recently MBP has been suffering from some sort of display issue that forces Google Maps into "lite" mode rather than the full "3D" mode that allows for street view and Google Earth. Instead, I'm not able to access street view and...

    Can I have Safari always open certain sites + restore session?

    There are 2 web sites that I visit as part of my morning routine, but they are not always in my last saved session in Safari. Is there a way to "pin" these tabs so that when Safari initially opens, it opens these 2 sites in addition to restoring the last session? If not, could it be done via a...

    Cannot access HTTPS via PKI

    I have had numerous problems with getting PKI certificates to work properly on my MBP. My issue is that I am using PKard to install US government PKI certificates from a CAC onto my Mac - I use both a MBP (late 2012) and an iMac (mid 2011). Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had no issues. Both...

    Any Safari extensions that help beat website paywalls (e.g., NY Times, etc)?

    Chrome has a bunch of add-ons that help users bypass paywall restrictions on sites like the NY Times, the New Yorker, and dozens and dozens of other sites. Over at the official Safari extensions site, there are no extensions for Safari that do the same thing. Has anyone discovered any...

    Safari can't open the page because Safari can't connect to the server

    All of a sudden, I can't connect to YouTube using Safari. Can't be a wifi or local network issue (have tried from two locations, in different towns)...I'm able to connect using Chrome and Firefox, so the issue is isolated to Safari. I've scoured Google, trying everything imaginable: Emptied...
