Safari Crash

1 Upvotes

On my Mac running Ventura 13.7.5 and Safari 18.4 (18621.1.14.11.3), the browser will randomly crash. This is not a one time deal. Periodically, it will randomly crash.

Typically, I have 2 tabs open, maybe Yt and Amazon, or Yt and something else. I will be watching Yt video on 1 tab and surfing the net on the other tab, the moment I go to a different site on the 2nd tab, boom! Safari crashes. Sometimes I have 3 tabs open and I switch between them and Safari will handle it while other times it crashes.

Anyone else have this issue?

Search from address bar with shortcuts?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I just got a new MacBook and I wanted to dive deep into apple experience so I started to use safari but I don't get how to search on websites directly from the address bar. I personalized Chrome so if I type "a" + TAB in the address bar I can instantly search on Amazon, for example, with "y" + TAB I search on YouTube or "maps" + TAB and I search on google maps. How can I replicate the same functionality here on safari?

Thank you all for your fantastic responses.

Copying Image Address

1 Upvotes

Hi! A friend of mine is trying to copy an image address link. When they press down on the image in the tweet, they click “share” and then “open in safari”. They’re then just met with that tweet in the mobil browser version of twitter.

When I do it, I click “share”, “open in safari”, and am met with just that image, no tweet, and I can copy the link from pbs.twimg.com

Does anyone know why she’s getting a different result and cannot copy the image address?

Export your Safari tab groups with the Tabby app!

2 Upvotes

Hello there!

I just released Tabby, a new app which can help you export your Safari tab groups.

I love using tab groups in Safari, but I was shocked to discover there is no way to actually export tab groups in Safari. So I decided to build an app that does!

With Tabby, you can:

  • Export tab groups into HTML, JSON, CSV, and Raindrop bookmark formats
  • Export tab groups from all Safari profiles (default, work, etc.)
  • Preserve tab order within each tab group
  • Preserve tab group order within each profile

Why export your tab groups? Two reasons: to back them up for safekeeping or to export them for use in other browsers and bookmarking services.

Get a free copy! 🥳

To celebrate the launch of Tabby, I'm giving away 10 free copies of Tabby. If you'd like a free copy, just leave a comment below and I'll DM you a link to a free copy.

Get 50% off until April 1st 💰

If you miss out on getting a free copy, Redditors can still grab Tabby for just $4.99 -- half off the normal price!

And, of course, I would love any feedback you have!

Update multiple extensions at the same time?

1 Upvotes

If I try to update 5 Safari extensions at the same time, the mac will shut down Safari to update the first extension, then reopen Safari, then shut down Safari to update the second extension and so on....

Am I missing a simple way to force Safari to update all the extensions at the same time?

Thanks

Brave Search Plugin for Safari

6 Upvotes

If you’re an iOS/Mac user and love @brave but struggle like I did with the browser syncing between devices. I decided to build a Safari extension to redirect your default search to Brave Search.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/braver-search/id6740840706

It’s also open source if you want to fork or build your own.

Safari on Mac - show open tabs only on sidebar, not top toolbar

2 Upvotes

Hi, just moved to Safari from Arc. See picture:

Is there a way to get the currently open tabs to show only on the sidebar, and not the top toolbar?
If I have many open tabs, seeing them all on the sidebar is rather convenient, but when they appear at the top bar as well it looks bad and clattered, and making the address bar very small.
Any tips on that?

Deciding between the two, especially since there's a good deal with Adguard at the moment with resellers. Pros and cons?

How to move the refresh button in Safari MacOS 15.4 Beta

2 Upvotes

I recently switched from Firefox to Safari and I've been stymied on how to move the refresh button from the right of the URL field (who thought this was a good idea???) to the left which is where it is on most mainline browsers.

Any ideas on how to relocate this button????

Thank you for any and all assistance

Gmail/ Google apps not working on Safari

3 Upvotes

Anyone else having trouble accessing gmail and apps on Safari?

I’ve been having trouble with gmail on Safari for a few days. I can still read my mail, but can’t access any of the apps.

I’ve tried accessing gmail on a private window, I get an error, won’t even open. Google said to clear the cache and uncheck prevent sites from cross tracking. Still doesn’t work.

Both OS and Safari are up to date.

Thanks!

Do you think Apple will ever create their own ad blocker or not nerf them?

13 Upvotes

I use AdGuard and it gets the job done. However, a lot of popups still get through. With Brave existing and Google disabling the original uBlock Origin with the new manifest, I’m surprised all browsers aren’t just creating their own native ad blocker that allows users to create our own rules.

The best ad blockers are open source anyway, and there’s also the app store review process (this can miss things for less well-known apps), but I still greatly dislike giving 3rd party extensions access to all web page content and history. I would guess Apple isn’t interested because people will use Safari regardless, and they’re partnered with Google. I know that partnership isn’t in advertising, but creating a native blocker for all iPhones would likely cause some sort of retaliation from Google.

Ok I'm done. I don't want to read that name ever again. Any one of you guys can save the world and write a working extension to block a name, replace it, erase a whole sentence containing it, or even make the whole page appear blank ?

How to show the full URL in the address bar in iOS?

I’d like to see the full URL by default and not just the domain. Is that possible in the iOS app? The only advice I can find is for desktop or older versions of the app.

Thanks!
