Although Apple brought Safari to the iPad, Safari users may find themselves a bit lost while using Safari for the iPad.
For those of you who are familiar with Safari on the iPhone, you will find that there are several changes which make Safari or the iPad more user friendly and take advantage of the larger screen format.
Tip #1 – Remove Bookmarks from the Bookmarks list
So you added a bookmark to a website you no longer visit, here’s how you remove it.
1. Tap the Bookmarks icon
2. Tap the Bookmarks Bar from the menu.
3. Tap Edit.
The menu will change to display delete buttons.
4. Tap the Delete button, repeat for all bookmarks you wish to remove.
5. Tap Done.
Tip #2 – Arrange the Order of the Bookmarks saved on the Bookmarks Bar
Don’t like the order of your bookmarks? Don’t worry, you can arrange the bookmarks in the order you choose by following the steps below.
Repeat Steps 1-3 above to get to the Edit menu.
4. Tap and hold down the three stacked bars on the right (on the right of the hand on the screenshot above) and rearrange the order by moving the bookmark entry up or down.
