CHAPTER 10 BROWSING THE WEB WITH SAFARI
Below the collections are you primary Bookmarks folders. Here you can add, remove, and
move around folders, and store any bookmarks within them. This is a great way to store large
amounts of bookmarks in an organized manner. It’s important to note, though, that the bookmarks
stored here are only accessible from this view. If you need quicker access to particular
bookmarks, it’s best to store those in the Bookmarks bar or Bookmarks Menu collections.
Bookmark Preferences
The Bookmarks tab in Safari’s Preference window (Figure 10-5) provides a few options, primarily
how to treat certain collections, but also a sync option.
Figure 10-5. The Bookmarks options in Safari’s Preference window
The Bookmarks bar and Bookmarks menu options allow you to select from a list of collections.
Any selected collections will then appear as items in the selected element. The Collections
options let you choose whether to include the Address Book or Bonjour collections at all.
The last option, if selected, will keep your bookmarks in sync with your .Mac account (and
thus, in sync with other computers you use that also sync with .Mac). This is handy if you use
many different computers and want to keep all your bookmarks handy from any of them. Also,
enabling this provides you with an up-to-date backup of all of your bookmarks.
Tabbed Browsing
The Safari browser fully supports tabbed browsing, which allows you to open up and view multiple
web pages at one time all in one window (Figure 10-6). For those of us with a history of
browsing many sites at once, this is a massive improvement over shuffling around many separate
browser windows.
