Checking if a website is already saved in bookmarks

2 Upvotes

In firefox when you want to add a new bookmark, you click on command+d and the pop up appears just like in safari. However, what safari does not do in the same pop us is tell you if you have already saved this bookmark and where you have saved it.

Safari will automatically show you the last bookmark folder you have saved the last thing in. Firefox does that too UNLESS the website is already saved somewhere. Safari is really not intuitive. Is there another shortcut that does what firefox does?

Sometimes I forget if I have saved something and where... And I have to go play around until find if and where it is. Idk if this is a common thing but no, I do not always remember where I saved something ◠̈ I have a ton of folders to try to organise all my interests which sometimes can be a bit overlapping. And unfortunately, I have too many interests. Thus is my life with adhd.

Google safe search filter locked

This issue is new. I’m adult and haven’t set any restrictions on my iPhone. I haven’t changed any screen time settings or anything else, but I still get this when if I search a topic that is NSFW.

It happens only on safari. The Google app is fine. Incognito does not fix it. My account settings enable graphic content. It doesn’t happen on my MacBook though. Does anyone know if there are settings I maybe turned on for safari in my phone that is causing this issue?

Run Chrome extensions in Safari

• Upvotes

The problems

  • lots of Chrome extensions never got a Safari version
  • Apple's converter only gives you an Xcode project
  • converted extensions still break on chrome.* APIs Safari doesn't have

The CLI

  • converts it, patches the chrome.* APIs Safari doesn't have, builds and signs it
  • --analyze tells you what'll break before you convert anything
  • needs Node, source available on GitHub

The app

  • on the Chrome Web Store "Add to Chrome" turns into "Add to Safari"
  • import grabs what you already have in Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi or Opera, settings too for most of them

Price

  • CLI is free
  • app is free for 2 extensions, removed after 7 days
  • full version $19 one time for unlimited extensions + Web Store updates

This Connection Is Not Private

Hi everyone, I need your help.

So I just updated my MacOS from Ventura to Sequoia (MBP M1) and after I did it, my Safari keeps showing This Connection Is Not Private page and won't let me access most of websites, for example :

- LinkedIn
- Reddit
- Facebook (stuck on verification page)
- Youtube (opened but the video won't play)
- and many more

I tried to clear the caches and reset the clock but it still doesn't work. I tried open the sites from Private Windows, and it won't work either. But when I tried opened the sites on Google Chrome, it works perfectly fine.

I prefer to use Safari over Chrome because it's lighter, so I hope I can fix this issue.

TIA, cheers

Accidentally closed my safari window and lost all my tabs, is there anyway to recover them on iPad?

1 Upvotes

I had two windows open, and accidentally the one with tabs was closed.

I tried holding the Safari button in the dock, but open closed tabs did not come up. I made sure to enable stage manager. When testing I had closed one of the windows that popped up, this did appear when I clicked restore window, but not the important one. I did not shut down my iPad.

I held the plus button, but it only showed my recent history, which did not include most of my tabs.

Is there anything I can do to recover my window with all my tabs? I’m really upset, I need help, please don’t just downvote me. I don’t know why my other post was downvoted so much, I really need help. I checked this subreddit, but no one had answers to similar questions, so I hope maybe there is new info.
