• Safari basics<br />

• Adding and managing bookmarks<br />

• Tabbed browsing<br />

• Downloading content from the Web<br />

• Viewing PDFs<br />

• Auto-filling form data<br />

• Security<br />

• Advanced browsing features<br />

Safari Basics<br />

Safari is <strong>Leopard</strong>’s default web browser, but you can install and use any other available <strong>Mac</strong> web<br />

browser as well (Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb, Opera, and many more exist. You could even<br />

whip up your own in Xcode without writing a single line of code!). However, most people who<br />

start using Safari tend to stick with it. Like most Apple software, Safari packs in a lot of useful<br />

features while still providing a clean, easy-to-use interface.<br />

Web Clip, and Add Bookmark buttons; an address field; and a web search field). Below the toolbar<br />

it has a Bookmarks bar to provide access to your favorite bookmarks or bookmark<br />
