THE WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE BROWSER.

Tap, swipe, scroll. And browse.

Multi-Touch gestures are built into Safari on OS X Lion, so you can tap, scroll, and swipe your way around the web. With two fingers on the trackpad, swipe to go back and forth between web pages — they slide in and out of the Safari window as you swipe. Want to get a quick, closer look at part of a page? Double-tap with two fingers to magnify it, then tap again to return to the original size. Pinch to zoom in and out more precisely. Scroll up or down with two fingers. Momentum scrolling makes Safari an even more natural way to browse.

Your personal Reading List.

When you come across an article, a website, or something else you find interesting, save the link to your Reading List. It’s a handy place to keep everything you want to read, watch, or browse whenever you have the time. Reading List shows you the name of the web page, the website it appeared on, and a preview of the first few lines. It’s easy to add web pages as you browse. And as soon as you add something new, iCloud updates it across your devices — iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.

See your sites at a glance.

With Top Sites, Safari keeps a running tally of the websites you visit and creates a graphically rich page that displays up to 24 thumbnails of your favorites. That makes it easy to spot the site you want to visit, and to open it with a click.

The best way to read the web.

Safari Reader banishes those blinking and flashing ads that distract you from your online articles. Say you’re browsing your favorite news site. Safari can tell if you’re on a web page with an article. Simply click the Reader icon in the Smart Address Field, and the article — every page of it — instantly appears in a continuous, clutter-free view. Email, print, or zoom with a click using convenient onscreen controls. And if you change the size of the text, Safari remembers it the next time you view an article in Safari Reader.

Always find your way back.

Sometimes you want to return to a web page you’ve visited before, but you can’t remember the URL or how you found the page. Safari helps you retrace your steps. The powerful search feature stores all the text of every page you visit, so it can instantly find sites from even the sketchiest search terms. Type in just one or two words. Safari not only shows you the web pages it found, but you can flip through previews of them just as you flip through album art in iTunes. Which makes the right website even easier to spot.

Flip through your bookmarks.

Browse through your bookmarked websites and login pages the same way you use Cover Flow to search for albums in iTunes. Spot the right website, and with a click, Safari takes you there instantly. Away from your Mac? iCloud saves and updates your bookmarks on all your devices, so you can quickly pull up a favorite page on whichever device you have handy.

THE BROWSER THAT LOOKS OUT FOR YOU.

The worry-free web.

The web can be a scary place. But not when you use Safari. To keep your browsing your business, Safari offers Private Browsing. Simply turn it on, and Safari stops recording the sites you visit. It also stops storing your searches, cookies, and the data in online forms you fill out.

To prevent companies from tracking the cookies generated by the websites you visit, Safari blocks third-party cookies by default. It also provides built-in pop-up blocking, so you don’t have to be bothered by unwanted ads. Read more about privacy protection on the Safari Features page.

A new Privacy pane in Safari preferences gives you more information about and control over your online privacy. You can see what websites are storing data that could be used to track you online. You can clear website data, customize cookie settings, and decide whether websites can request your location information.
