Formal reply: For optimal productivity, I recommend adjusting mac safari preferences as follows:
- Under General, set "New windows open with" to a specific page (like a blank tab or your favorite productivity dashboard).
- In Search, disable Search Engine Suggestions to reduce data sharing.
- Enable "Warn when closing multiple tabs" under Tabs to avoid accidental tab massacres.
For advanced users, Little Snitch complements Safari’s network controls beautifully.
