Make Safari stop displaying a website?

Hey everyone. I want to know if there's a way (or a plugin) to make Safari stop displaying specific websites. I go to a few websites that have talking ads, and disabling Javascript to get rid of them also gets rid of various site features that I enjoy having. So is there a way I can simply have Safari stop displaying the websites that the ads are hosted on? A plugin, as I said before, will also do. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but before I mark it as solved I want to know, how do I do this with multiple sites? I'm going to guess that you just do it again on another line (since to do it at all 127.0.0.1 is already used twice), but I would like conformation.

Safari not displaying updated website

I maintain a website for a client that is all mac-based. I work primarily on a pc, but have a mac so I can check the design.
Recently when I make a change to the website, specifically images, the client can not see them on their mac for 24 hours+. I work remotely so I can't just check their computers. I can see the changes fine on my computers and have colleagues check it for me and the new changes are definitely live.
If the client refreshes, clears their cache, refreshes again, reboots, refreshes, clears their cache it eventually comes live. But it has been going on for awhile and I don't understand why the cache is being held for so long even if the image has changed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
Where you see: Click the Database storage pop up menu then select 10MB or higher. See if that makes a difference.

How to make Safari stop adding filename extensions

If I use Right-click->Download Linked File As... with a link to a text file whose name has no extension or an unrecognized extension, Safari adds ".txt" to the name without showing in the Save dialog that it is going to do so. I think this is a regression in Safari 7 and/or Mavericks to a bad behavior from the Tiger era, although it is possible that it is an edge case that wasn't fixed along with the fix for more common modes of downloading/saving files and I just haven't run into it recently. I understand the mechanics of what Safari is doing (mapping the HTTP Content-Type header to a filename extension) and I don't see any good workaround short of a master switch making Safari stop doing that at all and instead trusting that I really do want unextended filenames and the ability to use a period in a filename without informing LaunchServices.
As an antique Mac user I've never been entirely comfortable with the adoption of the Windows filename extension botch, but I do accept that battle as lost. I'm just looking for a way to make Safari save files with the name shown in the Save dialog.

Hi,
This may be what you are looking for.

Can I make Safari stop auto-refreshing?

When I use Safari on my iPad, I sometimes find that when I change the tab I'm viewing, it sometimes automatically refreshes the page. I don't see any pattern, it just seems to be random. It can get annoying at times, like when I'm typing things in, and having to use more than one tab, for example, research, etc. So anyways, is there a way to make it stop automatically refreshing?

Hmm... It seems I can't get that to resolve at all on the mac. Not a Safari specific thing. I tried to ping it in terminal and get "Cannot resolve.."

Intel version's Safari cannot display some website's photos (but PPC cannt)

The Safari (Intel) is not able to display graphics/photos in some websites, (like http://www.fotop.net).
but if running the safari in rosetta mode, it will able to display so.
Can any one help to know want happened?

This MacOSX Hints page shows how to enable the debug menu, which also allows you to change the user agent.
Since the site works fine on Safari 2.0.3 ( 417.9.2) for me, I'd say that the website simply need to update their User Agent identification info to account for the latest versions. But hey - just tell both partys.
Hopefully someone else here with an Intel Mac can confirm if the site works for them.

How to make Safari stop asking whether to trust app Signature

I'm running Safari 4.0.5 on a Tiger system. When I sign on to my work VPN (I go to a website, enter credentials, and it starts up Network Connect), it always says "this applet was signed by ... and then I have to hit "Trust" or "Don't trust" or "Examine certificate". Can I get rid of this somehow?
thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
Anytime you go to a secure site you will know because there will be a small gray lock icon top right in your Safari window. Click the lock to view the certificate information.
If a site's certificate consistently requires you to click Trust over and over, report that to the site. Hopefully they have a contact link somewhere.
Note.. you have to enter your username and password in most cases before you will see the gray icon.
When you see the certificate click the purple circle with a black ? in it bottom left side of the certificate window. A Help viewer window will open with information about certificates.

Safari stopped displaying correctly

Safari on my iMac has gone awry.
This is this Support Forum as displayed now. As you can see it's pretty primitive.

I don't know how this happened. I have tried removing the Safari prefs files, repairing permissions, replacing my HDD directory with Disk Warrior, booting into Safe Mode, looking around in Safari preferences to see if anything has been changed, checked software update in case there was something the needs updating (also for Glims). No joy.
Also, I wonder if this is a symptom of a more general problem because my iMac is steadily getting slower to start up/draw desktop after logging in to my account.
Sometimes the following screen, asking "Where is installer?", appears when logging in too.

Is my HDD going on the fritz? Firefox appears to be unaffectedby the display problem.

Thanks for your comments.
DU revealed plenty of space, well over 500GB, and verification revealed no problems.

The only plugin for Safari I have (apart from some of the new extensions) is the latest version of Glims.
I have noticed that the problem seem to go away if I am in the Administrator Account. Going back to my own account the slow redraw I noticed now appears to have gone. I think it may have been because I had forgotten to disconnect my iPod.
I checked in all those folders referred to in the article but found nothing untoward. I trashed them, restarted Safari, then put them back when there was no change.
I have just tried deinstalling Safari Extensions by going into Library/Safari/Extensions. I have found that deleting the file Extensions.plist cures the Safari display problem.

From the 'Get Info' window the application that is set to open it is Photoshop CS. I didn't bother to change this to Safari as it seems sufficient just to drag it to the Desktop to fix Safari. Furthermore Safari doesn't recreate it.
Strangely enough Photoshop CS recreates the file in the same place, but the recreated file doesn't upset Safari anymore. How weird!

Force safari to display standard website?

Is there a way to force safari on the iPad to display the standard web page rather than the mobile one? For instance, if I go to NBC.com, the page displays as a mobile page and I want it to display like it does on my desktop.
Thanks!

Download Atomic Web Browser. It's an incredible browser that has a lot of useful features. (No I don't work for the developer, but I got tired of Safari.) It has a feature so you can tell it to identify your browser as Safari desktop. Plus it's got an ad-blocker and has tabs for quick switching rather than waiting for Safari's eye candy. One thing that bugs me about Safari is that if you have multiple pages open, it reloads when you switch between them. Atomic doesn't seem to have that problem. Now, it does have some quirks; mainly it doesn't remember your last page open if you close the app. But, the developer takes user suggestions and it keeps getting better. A lot of folks on Macrumors recommend it.

How to make Safari stop opening up with the last viewed page?

If I quit safari with "google.com", and I open it up again, "google.com" shows up.
how do i change the settings so that every time I open up safari, the homepage shows, not the last viewed page?

Close the Safari window before you quit Safari.
Or hold the shift key down when you launch Safari.
Best.

Safari stops loading website

I have one of the new 27" imacs, with the Apple airport router, Safari 6.05 and OS X 10.8.5. As of the last upgrade , when clicking on websites or if I'm tryiing to open one of my favorite links, safari stops loading the website. The only way to load any website is by me going to the address bar clicking on it and hitting enter, once I do this the site will load, this is not the only problem along with website if I'm watching a video half way through the video it will come to a complete stop and no matter how many times I hit the play button nothing happens. To get the video to run I have to hit the back button leave the webpage and then go forward back to the video click the play where the video will completely load and Im able to finish watching the video. It doesn't matter if its youtube, hulu or any other service I get the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions how to resolve this problem.

Have you installed the supplemental update to 10.8.5?
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental Update - Support - Apple

How do I make this stop: "..Safari automatically completes it.."

How do I make Safari stop offering "suggestions" when I'm typing in the address bar? "If you type part of an address, Safari automatically completes it with a matching address from your bookmarks or browsing history." Even if I clear history, it still digs things up from history, and I don't need to see all this clutter.
Where is the setting for this?

Sorry sanjampet but this isn't helpful. Your references to "all the auto fill stuff" and "the stuff to the right" aren't obvious. I'm not using the AutoFill button on my toolbar anyway. The view>cutomize toolbar dialog box doesn't contain anything called "stuff." Is this an attempt to be funny?

Safari has stopped displaying images?

Have been using Safari with Windows XP Pro for a couple of months without any problems to access internet and my Mobile Me account. Then without warning Safari stopped displaying images i.e., photo's & banner headers. As an example Google search engine operates but the Google logo does not show. Also Mobile Me is not displaying any images.
Internet Explorer on the same PC continues to operate OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Safari not displaying Facebook properly

Since yesterday, Safari stopped displaying Facebook properly. I get a white page with no formatting, just a column of links. That is the only site I have problems with. All others seem to work fine and Facebook displays properly if I'm using Firefox. ???

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
