Apple Safari for Mac - review, screenshots

Apple Safari overview

Apple Safari is Apple's web browser that comes bundled with the most recent macOS. Safari is faster and more energy efficient than other browsers, so sites are more responsive and your notebook battery lasts longer between charges. Built-in privacy features are stronger than ever. It works with iCloud to let you browse seamlessly across all your devices. And it gives you great ways to find and share your favorites. Put it all together, and no other browser offers such a rich web experience.

Safari for Mac has a condensed and minimalistic interface that offers mac users faster, private browsing with fewer interruptions and extended battery life.

When you download Safari for Mac you will get enhanced protection against invasive malicious software and customizable private browsing options to protect your information.

While browsing privately in Safari, pages that you visit in private mode will not appear in your browsing history list.

The Safari browser uses fewer system resources and allows extended browsing times while iCloud allows you to sync all your web activity seamlessly across devices.

A vast library of extensions available to enhance usability and productivity in the workplace or at home.

Where to Find Downloaded Files in Safari on a Mac and How to Manage Them

After downloading a file, it's not always easy to find where it saved. Here's how to find and manage Safari downloads on your Mac.

While browsing the web in Safari, it’s common to need to download files from different websites. But sometimes it can be a challenge to find where these Safari downloads are saved.

Below are several ways to find and manage Safari downloads on your Mac.

How to Download Files Using Safari

There are different ways to save items from Safari to your Mac , depending on the type of item you want to save. While some items in webpages can’t be downloaded, files, images, software, and apps often come with a dedicated download button. Otherwise, Control-click or two-finger tap an item to save or download it.

It’s best not to download software or apps if they aren’t from a trusted source.

Where to Find Safari Downloads on a Mac

Unless you’ve chosen otherwise, items that you’ve downloaded from Safari automatically go to your Downloads folder. To find this, open Finder and click Downloads from the sidebar or press Cmd + Option + L .

You can change where your downloaded files save, if you want:

  • Head to Safari > Preferences .
  • Click the General tab. Go to File download location , then choose from the popup. Select Ask for each download if you want to be in more control of each download.
  • If you want to select a specific destination, click Other and select your desired folder.

Use the Downloads Button in Safari

Quickly access your downloads in Safari by clicking the Downloads button, a downward arrow enclosed in a circle icon on the top-right of the Safari window. Note that this won’t appear unless you’ve recently downloaded an item.

Open the Downloads Stack in the Dock

Another way to immediately access your downloaded files is through the Dock. Your recent downloads are often found on the right side of the Dock in a stack. Hover over it to preview the contents or click to expand it.

Open the Downloads Folder in Finder

As we already mentioned, you can also find your Safari downloads using Finder. This is a valuable utility to locate items on our Mac. Simply click the magnifying button on your menu bar and type "downloads," or go to your Dock and click Finder to open the Finder window.

You can usually find the Downloads folder in the sidebar, under Favorites.

How to Manage Your Safari Downloads

There are several ways to manage your in-progress or completed downloads in Safari. To perform these actions, open the Downloads menu in Safari itself. Here’s what you can do:

  • Pause Downloads: If you’re currently downloading, click the stop button beside the file name to pause the download, then click the resume button to resume it again.
  • Remove a downloaded item: If you want to remove a single item from the list, Control-click the item and select Remove from List . You can also remove all your recently downloaded items by clicking Clear in the top right of the popup.

By default, Safari automatically deletes downloaded items after a day. If you want to change this:

  • Go to Safari > Preferences .
  • Click General , then go to Remove download list items . Choose from After one day , When Safari quits , Upon successful download , or Manually .

Manage Your Safari Downloads

There is a lot of content you can download on the web, and simply knowing how to download it is usually half the battle. But once you’ve done that, you can use the tips in this guide to find and manage your Safari downloads with ease, even customizing your download preferences to get fuller control over where your files save and when they get deleted.

Hello. Did you delete Safari from your Mac? If you did and do not have a recent backup, you will need to reinstall macOS to get Safari back. If you do have a recent backup of Safari before it was deleted, you can restore it.

If you haven't already, please also perform a Spotlight search for Safari to make sure that it wasn't accidentally moved off your Dock. If Safari comes up in the search, it is still present on your computer and can be dragged back onto your Mac's Dock or accessed via Spotlight or Launchpad.

How-To Geek

How to find downloads on a mac.

Lost your downloads? We'll help you find them.

Quick Links

How to find your downloads folder on the dock, locate your downloads with finder, how to find downloads not in the downloads folder, key takeaways.

Click the Downloads folder on your Mac's dock to view your downloaded files. If the Downloads folder isn't on the dock, open Finder and navigate to Users > (Username) > Downloads to find your downloads.

If you've downloaded a file through a browser like Safari or Chrome on your Mac, you might be confused about where the file ended up. Luckily, there's a typical place to look first, and we'll help you find it.

On a Mac, downloaded files are usually saved by default in a special folder called "Downloads" that is located within your user account folder. By default, macOS ships with a link to your personal Downloads folder in the dock , which is the row of app icons on the bottom or side of your screen. Look in the dock (beside the Trash) for a stack of icons or a folder icon with a downward-pointing arrow on it.

Click that shortcut, and your Downloads folder will open.

If you don't have a shortcut to Downloads in the dock, you can drag the Downloads folder from Finder to the area beside Trash to place it there. You can also change its appearance between a "Stack" and a blue folder icon by right-clicking the Downloads shortcut and using the "Display As" option.

You can also find the Downloads folder in Finder , which is an application that helps you manage files. To open Finder, click the Finder icon in your dock, which looks like a smiley face.

In the Finder Window that opens, you have several options for reaching the Downloads folder.

  • The Menu Bar: With Finder in the foreground, click Go > Downloads in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
  • The Finder Sidebar: In any Finder window, look in the sidebar on the left side of the window and click "Downloads" in the list of "Favorites." If "Downloads" isn't listed in Favorites, you can drag the icon for the Downloads folder into the sidebar later. Or press Command+Comma (","), click "Sidebar" and place a check mark beside "Downloads" in the list.
  • By Browsing: If you want to find the Downloads folder by browsing a file path, start at your Macintosh HD root folder, then navigate to Users > [Username] > Downloads.

Once you open the Downloads folder, you'll see a group of files that you've downloaded in the past. Look through it to find the file you're missing.

If the file you're looking for isn't located in the Downloads folder and you know the file's name, you can do a Spotlight search to find it. To do so, press Command+Space on your keyboard, then type the name of the file (or part of the name) you're looking for.

If you see the file in the list of results, you're set. To show the file's location in Finder, highlight the file in the Spotlight results list and press Command+Return.

If that doesn't help, you can also use saved download history in your browser to locate the missing file. In Safari, you can see your download history by pressing Option+Command+L or clicking the downward arrow in a circle beside the address bar. In the menu that appears, click the magnifying glass icon beside a file to open its location in Finder.

If you don't have any downloads that icon will not appear, and the Option+Command+L hotkey won't do anything.

In Chrome, you can also see a downloads list if it hasn't been cleared. To do so, open Chrome and click the three dots button in the upper-right corner of any window. In the menu that appears, select "Downloads." In the Downloads tab that opens, locate the file in the list and click the "Show in Finder" link below it.

A Finder window will open pointing to the location of your downloaded file. Repeat with any other files you need to locate. Good luck, and happy downloading!

How to download Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a Mac

Macs are Apple's personal computer lineup — iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro , and more. They offer great capabilities that rival brands sometimes try to emulate. Protecting your MacBook Pro with a case will only make it last longer, so make sure to buy one if you haven't yet. One of the handy features of macOS is the ability to use third-party browsers if you prefer another over Safari. Here's how to download Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a Mac.

How to install Windows on a Mac

How to download google chrome on a mac.

  • Launch Safari from the Launcher or Spotlight Search .
  • Head to google.com/chrome .
  • Click on Download Chrome in the middle of the screen.
  • Double Click on the .dmg file once it finishes downloading.
  • Drag the Chrome icon to the Applications folder, as instructed.
  • Wait for it to finish copying.
  • You will then see the Chrome icon in the Launcher. Click it.
  • Allow macOS to launch it.
  • Customize the settings you get the first time you launch the app.
  • Voila! You can now use Google Chrome on your Mac.

How to download Microsoft Edge a Mac

  • Head to microsoft.com/edge .
  • Click on Download in the middle of the screen.
  • Agree to the Terms of Service after you read them by selecting Accept and download .
  • Allow the download to commence and wait for it to complete.
  • Double Click on the .pkg file once it finishes downloading.
  • Go through the straightforward installation process and close it once it finishes.
  • Click on Move to Trash , when prompted.
  • You will then see the Edge icon in the Launcher. Click it.
  • Voila! You can now use Microsoft Edge on your Mac.

There's value in other browsers

As Mac owners know, not every app or web function plays well with Safari. What's more, there are unique features you'll get with another browser like Google Chrome that make it worth having as well. Most notably nowadays, this includes powerful AI tools on Chrome that can help you work faster and more efficiently. You'll get the same AI integration, it should be noted, with the Microsoft Edge browser as well, featuring Microsoft's own twists on the growing technology.

Do your research and see which browser meets your needs best. Or go ahead and download both, switching among the two (along with Safari) until you decide which one is worth keeping and becoming your new default browser. We named all three among the best web browsers for Mac , so you can't go wrong no matter which one you choose.

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

download safari on macbook pro

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on-device intel­ligence to help prevent cross-site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customisation

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customisable than ever. Organise your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favourite features — like Reading List, Favourites, iCloud Tabs and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

download safari on macbook pro

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favourites, cookies and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

download safari on macbook pro

Web apps let you save your favourite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favourite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

download safari on macbook pro

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

download safari on macbook pro

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your usernames, passkeys, passwords and credit card numbers, and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favourite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimisations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.
