Change Your New Tab Page in Safari

Changing your new tab page on the Safari Internet browser allows you to decide which page is displayed when you open a new tab. If you would like to learn how to do this, please continue reading.

Steps

  1. Open the Safari Preferences menu. On Mac, click the "Safari" menu item, then select Preferences from the dropdown. On Windows, you can find Preferences from the "Edit" menu dropdown. If you can't see the "Edit" menu, press the Alt key on your keyboard. Alternatively, preferences can be found by clicking the black circle to the right of the address bar.
  2. Select the "General" tab. This should be the first option at the top of the popup that appeared when you opened Safari preferences. The image should be a light switch.
  3. Change "New tabs open with" to be "Homepage". You may also want to change "New windows open with" to be "Homepage".
  4. Set the "Homepage" field. This should be the page/website address you want to display when you open a new tab. Press "Set to current page" if you want to set the homepage to the current page.
  5. Close the preferences menu and you're done.



Tips

  • Sometimes the right click function doesn't work. In that case to open a new tab click the folder button on top right corner.
  • If you choose Google as default search, it will show that "all searches are done through Google only via safari" so no need to change.
