After a lot of reluctance I decided to update Safari, actually this was by accident and I selected Safari when I meant to only select iTunes. This is part of my jail breaking adventure of version 3.1.2.
Anyway, after the update I noticed a new feature which appears when you open a new tab called Top Sites. At first glance this looked neat, it showed all these sites that I had frequented in a thumb nail... a thumb nail of what seemed to be the last page I had viewed....
I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing right now. There were a couple of sites which I didn't realise that I frequented that much to make it into my "Top Sites". I would love to see someone who frequents porn sites, imagine that...
One thing that did concern me was that it showed my facebook page logged in, it showed my netbank page logged in, it showed my gmail account... logged in. Of course this is only just an image of some sort, and the account is not accessible like that. But it did show quite a lot of detail if you did Control and scrolled up to zoom into the cursor.
I managed to find a way to turn this off using a command line, so to execute this you will need
to open Terminal and enter the following (and then press enter of course), you may need to close safari and re-open it to work:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites -bool NO
If you decide that you want to re-activate this feature, just simply change No at the end to a Yes.
Thanks
