i just got my macbook and the only website i have been to so far is macrumors. but when i opened up safari and entered something in on the bar, websites popped up, i scrolled down, and i have never been to them. ones i have never been to, i have only been to one! what is up with that? confused. is this alright? i literally just opened it up, how are websites on it? thanks if you could help!
 
Apple provides you with a some default bookmarks. If you click the little book on the left side of your Bookmark Bar, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Those are the websites that you're seeing in the address bar. Nothing to worry about.
 
thanks! that answered that question! one last question-how do i uninstall uneccasary apps for me, like garageband, etc? also how do i open multiple webpages, are there tabs?
 
Personally, if I'm going to uninstall iLife apps like that, I do a clean install of the OS. If you're not up for doing that, you could probably just use something like AppZapper, or AppDelete to do it.
 
Yes there are tabs in Safari, but you have to enable that option via Safari>Preferences. It's not default behaviour, for some reason.

garageband also has some sounds and loop files that i believe are not in the same folder as the app itself. they are several gigs so u may want to nix them too.
