Basically it lets you quickly see all your LinkedIn and Twitter notifications and feeds in a single place, directly in Safari. If you have signed into a Twitter or LinkedIn account (in the Internet Accounts setting in System Preferences) you’ll see the Shared Links button appear in the Sidebar to the right of the Reading List).

Shared Links is a brand new feature in Safari 7. Automatically fill in information such as credit card details 6. It’s a small but very handy feature, saving you time instead of fumbling around for the relevant details. One benefit of this is that passwords and credit card information can be synced across all your devices, and automatically filled in when visiting websites.

Integration with iCloud Keychainīesides web form and password autofill, Safari is now more integrated with iCloud keychain (a new Mavericks feature which will be covered in a separate article). Control plug-in settings on a site-by-site basis 5. In the case of Flash, it’s a particularly handy feature to block on most sites, except perhaps those like YouTube where Flash is an integral part of the experience. There is also an option for websites not listed with the same choices. On the right, for each website listed are several options – Ask, Block, Allow, and Allow Always, as well as an “unsafe mode” which gives open access (not recommended). You can select any plug-in from the list in the left hand pane. Click on the Security tab and then hit the Manage Website Settings button Manage all your plug-ins from Preferences.Open Preferences from the Safari menu (or use Cmd-comma).This is particularly handy for Flash – whereas previously many Safari users installed plug-ins to block Flash, in the new version that functionality is built in automatically. Safari 7 also gives you a bit more control over plug-ins, such as the ability to decide which websites can use them. Choose how many sites are shown in Top Sites 4. Top Sites has a new redesigned gridĬlicking on any item takes you right to the page, but you can also control how many items are displayed in the grid from Safari’s Preferences under the General tab as shown below. You can drag the items around, pin them or delete them as top sites forever. Gone is the old curved style and in comes a rigid grid that looks a whole lot smarter. There is a new Top Sites page (accessible via the grid icon on the Favourites Bar) with a slightly tweaked look. Scroll seamlessly between items in your Reading List 3.

This really makes using it that much easier, saving the need to keep going back to the list all the time. Keep scrolling and you’ll notice that the next article in your reading list automatically comes into view.

Simply choose any item in the list (which then appears in the main page), then scroll to the bottom of the website. Perhaps the nicest feature about the new Reading List however, is the continuous scroll feature. With a scroll downwards, you can bring into view buttons to filter by All or Unread, as well as a search box to filter them even further. When adding a bookmark, they automatically get added to your reading list in chronological order. Reading list itself is not a new feature, but it now benefits from being more accessible under the Sidebar menu next to bookmarks.
