Safari’s Top Sites.
Top Sites gives you a window full of useful shortcuts to
your most frequently visited sites. Here’s how it works.
Pinned Sites
Click on the URL field at the top of the browser to access a
window showing a grid view of website thumbnails you’ve marked
as favourites, along with those you’ve visited most recently.
1
If you’re not currently in Tab view, go to the View menu
and select the Show Tab Bar option near the top of the
menu. Now open the site you intend to pin and right or
CTRL-click on its tab. From the pop-up menu, select the Pin
Tab option at the top.
To add a site, click the URL field to open the Top Sites
window and then drag the URL into it. You can drag icons
around the Top Sites window to reorder them, or out of the
window to remove them.

The site gets a small tab in the left-hand side of the tabs
bar. This is always in place, ready for you to click on it
and open the site. You can pin multiple sites in this way. They
all appear as small tabs, showing a symbol or letter indicating
their content as you can see here.
To the Top Sites window, macOS Catalina adds: Siri
suggestions, sites from your Reading List, bookmarks, tabs
that are open on other Apple devices signed into the same
Apple account as your Mac and more.

To remove a site’s pinned tab, right-click or CTRL-click
on it and from the pop-up menu, select Unpin Tab. The
previously pinned tab then becomes a regular tab. You can
reorder your pinned tabs by dragging them within the tabs bar.
