Safari

You can use the Safari tab of the Parameters pane to set the parameters of some hidden Safari functions.

Navigation:

Turn off Safari's image cache: When you browse the Internet, Safari creates two images of the contents of each webpage viewed (a JPEG and another PNG). These images are used as seen when viewing the Top Sites or History. You can use this option to turn on or turn off the creation of these images.

Turn on single window mode: Some webpages have links opening a new window. You can use this option to open these pages in a new tab.

Search option by default: With OS X Mountain Lion, search by keywords in a webpage is, by default, on the beginning of words (Starts with). You can use this menu to change the default behavior by doing research anywhere in a page (Contains).

Misc. options:

Turn on Develop menu: Safari has hidden features that can be turned on or off with this option. You can use this menu to open the current webpage in another browser, change the User Agent, display the Web Inspector, turn on or turn off some functions, and so on. This option also adds an Inspect Element item in the shortcut menu of Safari. By default, the Web Inspector appears in an individual window, but it can be merged with the displayed page by clicking the icon intended for this purpose located at the Inspector's bottom left.

Printing:

Backgrounds: Select this option if you want to print the background of webpages with Safari.

Headers and Footers: You can use this option to decide whether you want to print the headers and the footers of webpages.

You can also modify this parameter directly in Safari. (Choose Print in the File menu, then select the "Print backgrounds" and "Print headers and footers" options.)

Logs:

Enter the values you want, then click the Apply button.

Number of items in the History menu: You can use this field to set the number of items appearing in the History menu in Safari.

Number of days: You can use this field to set the number of days preserved in the History of Safari.

Click the Restore Defaults button to cancel all modifications caused by OnyX or by another application. After execution, the parameters will display as they did when the System and the applications were first installed.
