Resetting Safari
Authored by: geoship on Nov 11, '05 08:52:42AM

From Safari help:

Resetting Safari

"If you use a shared or public computer, you may want to reset Safari to prevent other people from seeing what you have been doing.

Resetting Safari clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries.

In addition, any open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons.

Choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu and click Reset.

If you reset Safari, then cookies saved by other applications, such as Sherlock, may also be removed."

Private Browsing in Safari

Also from Safari Help:

Private Browsing:

Protecting private information on shared computers

When you browse the Internet, Safari stores information about the websites you visit on your computer. That information can include the contents of the webpages you've viewed and any information you've entered at a site, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. Other people who use your computer may be able to view that information.

If you don't want Safari to store this information, you can turn on private browsing. When private browsing is turned on

  • Webpages are not added to the history. (You can still use the Back and Forward buttons to return to webpages you've viewed in a window.)
  • Items are automatically removed from the Downloads window when private browsing is turned off.
  • Information isn't saved for AutoFill, including names and passwords.
  • Searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search field.
  • Cookies are deleted when private browsing is turned off.

I am trying to do the opposite. I am trying to print Safari's History, and hopefully more than what currently shows. I have discovered my husband is into porn. Now I need to print out a listing of these sites to confront him.

Thank you for any assistance.

15 months later - I guess it's okay to respond to a troll? I just did. :)
