How to disable frequently visited in Safari 8?

This sounds a little weird, but is there a way to seperately turn off the "Frequently Visited" section of the bookmarks in Safari 8 (where you click the URL bar).
I still want my bookmarks to show up, but have that god-awful "Frequently Visited" to be gone.
I do not want to completely disable this and bring back the bookmarks bar.
If this is not possible, that is a really stupid flaw from Apple, and I hope that they fix that in the next update.
Thanks

You can drag the icones out.

  • How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab.

    How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab.  Note, I still want favorites to show.  But I feel it is inappropriate for safari to track frequently visited sites.  I wish I could use private browsing more, but I hate that keychain doesn't work in private mode.  Also, why can't I turn history completely off?

    To turn on private browsing, tap Safari, then tap in the lower-right corner. Tap Private to turn private browsing on.
    Note: If you're using an iPad, tap , then Private.
    Tap again > turn off private.

  • How to disable private browsing in safari 6?

    Is there an easy way to disable private browsing in Safari 6?

    It's not quite clear what you mean. Private browsing is off by default. If you want to make private browsing impossible for another user, look into Parental Controls.

  • How to disable adobe reader in safari

    I am aware there is this thread on basically the same problem How can I regain Preview as my default PDF browser in Safari?.
    However my circumstances are a bit different.
    One of my content vendors uses FileOpen to lock their PDFs and that is why I even bothered to install adobe (v10.1.4). Thru the install process I was careful not to have adobe become the default viewer by checking all the relevant boxes I saw.
    When I go to Finder and doubleclick on a PDF, they are still opened by Preview. Right click->Get Info does show Preview as default viewer.
    However in Safari, Adobe has taken over despite in Adobe->Preferences->display pdf in browser is not only unchecked but grayed out. But even though grayed out, right below that checkbox shows Adobe Reader.app is the browser view and I see no way of changing it.
    In Library/Internet Plug-ins there are NO pdf plug ins. In fact I have only a single one (picasa).
    I am not aware how to get to Username/Library/Internet Plug-ins as the reference thread talks about.
    Whatever the solution, I still need adobe working on my machine otherwise I cannot view the content from that one vendor.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Message was edited by: quatrieme to clarify Adobe->Preferences settings

    thanks, Linc. interesting suggestion. It shows the following unfortunately. The background: I initially installed adobe reader 11.0.01 but discovered the production version of FileOpen does not work with it. So I uninstalled it and installed 10.1.4 instead. But looks like some parts of it lingers.

  • Please tell me how to disable Top Hits in Safari

    iPhone 4S. Just upgraded to iOS8. I noticed Top Hits popping up when I start a search. Never saw it before. Very annoying. I've tried turning everything off under settings>safari>search. I also tried turning on "safari" in iCloud and then "merge" followed by turning Safari off again. No luck. Please help

    iTunes has in the past always played all visible checked tracks starting with the first track that you play. Unless I'm mistaken it still works that way, but you can use the Up Next control to clear down the list and/or edit it if you choose. I'm not sure what you think is different in this respect, or at least what you think you can no longer do.

  • How to disable tab bar in Safari on iOS 5

    I can't find the setting for this. Is it hidden somewhere?

    Pure88 wrote:
    The only problem with safari under iOS 5 is when you have 9 tabs opened (which is often the case for me) you don't find anymore which is the right tab when you come back, while under iOS 4 it was far more easier thanks to the picture of the page.
    Fair point, but it obviously now makes sense keeping fewer pages open. This is now easy to do as you can just add them to 'Reading List' so you can return to them later and since the Reading List syncs to your other devices they are available anywhere you might be browsing which HAS to be a plus.
    I realise that the Reading List is just a list of bookmarks and doesn't actually store the page itself, whereas an open tab does - in theory. On many, many occasions I have switched to an open page (now Tab) and had to wait while the page was retrieved again. I don't understand why it does this since the page had already been downloaded and I hadn't asked it to 'redraw'. Also, it doesn't always occur. So why does it refetch some pages and not others? Anyway, if it is re-fetching the page, that is no different from just opening a bookmark and hence in that case storing something in the Reading List would be no different to keeping the page apparently open in another screen.
    On the whole I do prefer the new Safari and from the reviews I've read, it seems that most others do also. In any case, there's no point wishing for the old behaviour as it's surely gone for good. Better to embrace the new way of working and learn to love that, so when they change to something else in iOS 6, you'll have something to complain about.

  • Edit Safari "Frequently Visited" Black List?

    Noticed that Safari had a frequently visited site under "frequently visited" but the wrong page. So I removed it hoping it would take the hint and add back the correct landing page. Now even though I visit the site about 10x more frequently than any other site, it never appears on the frequently visited list. Which makes me pretty sure that there's a black list somewhere that contains domains -- root domains -- that have been removed from the frequently visited list. I have no idea where this black list lives. Has anyone delved into Safari deeply enough to uncover the location of this list so I can adjust it?

    Hello, bobbygstx.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are the steps on how to remove frequently visited sites from Safari. This process is similar to deleting favorites.  
    Bookmark the current page. Tap (or touch and hold ), then tap Add Bookmark.
    View your bookmarks. Tap , then tap .
    Get organized. To create a folder for bookmarks, tap , then tap Edit.
    Add a webpage to your favorites. Open the page, tap the search field, drag down, then tap Add to Favorites.
    Quickly see your favorite and frequently visited sites. Tap the Search field to see your favorites. Scroll down to see frequently visited sites.
    Edit your favorites. Tap the search field, then touch and hold a page or folder. You can delete the item, or edit it to rename or move it.
    Choose which favorites appear when you tap the search field. Go to Settings > Safari > Favorites.
    Bookmarks bar on your Mac? Turn on Safari in Settings > iCloud if you want items from the bookmarks bar in Safari on your Mac to appear in Favorites on iPhone.
    Save an icon for the current page on your Home screen. Tap , then tap Add to Home Screen. The icon appears only on the device where you create it.
    Keep bookmarks
    Cheers,

  • How can I disable the tabs in safari on the ipad2

    How can I disable the tabs on safari on my ipad2. I hate the tabs!!!

    You can't, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll get the choice of tabs or thumbnail/paged browsing : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    In the meantime I think that the (free) Opera browser and the iCab Mobile browser in the app store offer thumbnail browsing to some degree.

  • How to disable Safari on every desktop?

    When placing different apps to different desktops (workspaces) - they stay there and only Safari appears on each workspace when switching. How to disable this annoying feature?

    You need the Restrictions pass code.  You can restore the iPod to factory settings using iTunes.  This will remove all data on the iPod including the Restrictions.  You can then create a new Restrictions Pass Code and turn Safari off.  You will be able to redownload purchased apps and music for free, but all your data, etc. will be lost.
