Does safari have a do not track feature?

Does safari have a "do not track" feature?

Safari v.6 does via Safari Preferences... > Privacy tab:
If you're on a version of Safari prior to v.6 you can install the Do Not Track Plus extension — see HERE under the Security category.
Note that Safari v.6 is included in Mountain Lion and is available for Lion via Software Update.

  • Does safari have do not track software?

    Does Safari have an option for "do not track" within their browser? If so, how do I activate it or find it?
    Thank you

    Ciao, here is the Link for Incognito: http://www.orbicule.com/incognito/ you may also want to consider ClicktoFlash makes a huge difference on some pages and cleans up a lot of clutter. Look for it under "The Most Popular" section.
    Cheers.

  • How do I switch on the D0 Not Track feature?

    I read your very good article on the Do Not Track feature, but it does not advise or provide a selection tab to activate the Do Not Track service, which I would like to do.
    (2) I see below on my Firefox Version that I have 3.6.23. I have recently downloaded Firefox Version 7, which is in my Download folder. Does this mean that my download of version 7 has not been activated so my notebook is not running version 7 as yet or is 3.6.23 something else all together? If currently not running Firefox Version 7, how do I transfer it across from Downloads to Programs? Copy & Paste from Downloads to Programs folder on my Windows Explorer?

    To install Firefox 7, run the installer you downloaded (double-click it). Actually, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings first in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Regarding Do Not Track, it is in the Options dialog on the Privacy tab when you are finished updating.

  • Quick question...  does safari have add-ons or plug ins?

    I've been Safari and firefox intermittently for the past week or so, and I've definitely noticed that Safari is faster than firefox most of the time, which I really like. And I like how links to some major websites are built across the top below the address bar, too. I also like how it's streamlined and condensed.
    However, I like firefox, too... namely because of all the add-ons and plug ins, such as foxytunes, download helper, the toolbars for yahoo and google (those are the four I have because those are the only ones I use).
    So, does Safari have plug-ins, or add-ons available, akin to firefox, or the app store (that I've heard about) for the i-phone? Because, if so, (if I could get those four plug-ins, or equivalents) that would be enough to make me do a complete switch.

    Hi and welcome to the Apple discussion forum!
    Yes Safari do use plugins as well as firefox, i guess that you already got the Flash plugin installed.
    But you find some other available plugins at this site as well, that you maybe not have installed yet.

    And regarding the Appstore that has really nothing to do with Safari though, the appstore is a
    place where you can Buy/Download software for your iPhone. Cheers, J~G

  • Does Safari have a css property to emulate IE's disabled vertical scrollbar

    Hi,
    Does Safari have a css property to force the always-on disabled Internet- Explorer-type scroll bar like Firefox has? The site design needs to plan for the scroll bar width anyway, and I don't want the screen jumping left and right when the scroll bar activates and deactivates. I also don't want to use the active scroll bar by setting lengths to height plus one.
    Thanks!
    Thanks!

    This isn't about the css standard. I agree that IE is a huge impediment to progress on the Internet as a whole. Having scroll bars showing by default or not is a browser design choice.
    Firefox and Safari have initially chosen to hide them by default, and have them visible only when content exceeds page length. I used to think that was the "right" way. I, and many others, now realize that IE has it right. The advantage is the page doesn't jump around depending on content. The designer must compensate for the possibility of a scroll bar in the design anyway. Firefox has recognized the validity and widespread support for this position and has since incorporated a proprietary css property to render the disabled scroll bar. They separate their properties by prefixing them with moz to circumvent conflicts with what may become a W3C standard property in the future. My question is whether or not Safari has any means available to web developers that enable them to display an inactive scroll bar yet.
    Thanks!

  • Why does Safari 5.1.7 not display pdf files anymore?

    Why does Safari 5.1.7 not display pdf files anymore? Please fix!

    I have this problem too except I see the pdf but it does not print.

  • Does safari have...???

    a function similar to the function that firefox has where you enter about:config into the address bar and get a ton of functions? does safari have something like that?

    In Firefox/Mozilla, you can type "about:config" into the address bar to get a huge of all of the preference configurations (it's a HUGE list). Lots of advanced settings there.
    Check 'er out.
    Safari doesn't do this. Closest it has is the standard <code>defaults</code> command in Terminal. If you really want a simple, fast browser that has this level of configurability, I'd recommend Camino. The current nightly builds of 1.0a1 are hot.
    (Not to dis Safari at all. I think it's a good browser.)

  • Does safari have a homepage on an iPad

    Does safari have a homepage on the iPad?

    No. you can't set a home page in Safari. But - you can add a shortcut to a home page on your home screen that will always open to that page that you want to use.
    Launch Safari and navigate to the web page that you want as your home page. Tap the Arrow icon next to the url field in the Safari tool bar at the top - and then select Add to Homescreen. That will put an icon on your home screen that will open to the selected home page in Safari when you tap on it.

  • How do you turn on the do not track feature?

    According to an article in USA Today, Firefox has a "do not track" feature that keeps third parties for knowing what sites I visit. How do you turn this on?

    Note that selecting that ''do-not-track'' setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header (DNT=1) to a web server.
    It is up to the server to do something with that request.

  • Safari switched to half screen on my iPhone 6. Restarting fixed that. Does Safari have a half screen mode? Where's the switch?

    DDoes Safari have a half-screen mode?

    This is a feature called Reachability - was not sure if the 6 had it - the 6 Plus does - lightly double tapping the home button makes the upper half of the screen slide lower for easier one handed operation - you can turn it on or off in settings

  • With the do not track feature checked I still get ads from sites visited soon after leaving these sites. What to do?

    I have checked the box for do not track but get ads from sites visited after leaving these sites. These ads run parallel on the Yahoo home page. What I can I do about this?

    That feature relies upon voluntary compliance to your preference by websites.

  • I have firefox 5 yet it doesn't have the do not track checkbox under options, advanced, general

    Under browsing in the general tab, I have check spelling as I type but no do not track option. How come? I want this feature. And my about firefox says that I have 5.0. What's up with this? Thank for your assistance.

    Do not expect too much from that setting. Is only makes Firefox send a DNT=1 response to the server via the HTTP headers.

  • I've turned on the do not track feature but I still have many sites tracking me. What can I do to stop them from doing this?

    I can tell that sites are still tracking me, if I search for an item on ebay the next time I go to Amazons site I see the item I was searching for on ebay on the Amazon page. I would like this to stop can you help with this problem?

    Hi,
    You can try installing Ghostery. It is available for download. It is an add-on to prevent tracking you by the websites. Check here for information: https://www.ghostery.com/

  • (do not track feature) does not show message in tool bar area how can i fix this and how do i know if it is working?

    i used this feature before and a message appeared in tool bar that privacy was on, this no longer happens i have tried the tools / options / privacy setting with no luck. any fixes available?

    This feature has likely been provided by an extension that is disabled or no longer installed, possibly because you have reset Firefox.
