If you’re an iPad user, you’re probably familiar with Safari – the web browser that comes pre-installed on your device. But did you know that Safari comes with its own set of preferences and settings? These settings allow you to customize your browsing experience, from blocking certain types of content to enabling reader mode for easier reading. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at where to find these preferences on your iPad and how to customize them for a more tailored experience.
First off, the Safari Preferences menu can be accessed by opening the Safari app and clicking the “Safari” tab in the top menu bar (Fig. 1). From there, click “Preferences” to open up the settings page. On this page, you can customize a variety of different settings – from setting a homepage to disabling pop-ups and allowing JavaScript.
Once you’ve made all your desired changes, click “Done” at the bottom of the page and they will be applied immediately.
You can also access Safari preferences through the Settings app on your iPad. To do this, open Settings and scroll down until you see “Safari” listed in the list of apps (Fig. 2). Tap it and then tap “Websites” to view all available website-related settings. From here, you can enable or disable content blockers (such as ad-blockers or parental control filters) as well as set whether websites should ask for permission before tracking your location or using cookies.
Finally, if you want an even more tailored web browsing experience, there are options available within each website itself. For example, if you want Reader Mode enabled for a particular website, all you need to do is open that website in Safari, tap on the address bar at the top of the page (Fig 1), and select “Reader Mode” from the dropdown menu (Fig 3). Reader Mode will then be enabled for that particular website only – so if you don’t want it enabled for all sites in general then this is a great way to do it without changing any global settings!
Overall, Safari Preferences on iPad offer plenty of options for customizing your web browsing experience – from blocking certain types of content to enabling reader mode or setting permissions for individual websites. Whether it’s setting a homepage or enabling content blockers – there’s something here for everyone!
