To save a page for later, click the Share button and select
Add to Reading List. To view your Reading List, open the
sidebar and click the middle button (the spectacles). You see
the title, a thumbnail, and a brief summary of the page that
you saved. To revisit any of the pages in your list, click on the
list entry to go straight to it.

Websites that play audio as soon as you open the page
are really annoying. Thankfully, individual tabs can be
silenced using this simple Safari tip. In Safari you can tell which
one is making the sound. Just look for the tab with the speaker
icon, shown on its right.

You can search your reading list by typing in the search
bar at the top of the list, and view only unread links by
clicking on the Unread button. To remove a site from your
reading list, right-click or CTRL-click on the site you want to
delete and from the contextual menu that appears, select the
Remove Item option.

You can mute this sound by simply clicking on the
speaker icon. If more than one tab is producing audio,
right-click on it for more options. You can see which tabs are
making a sound, mute that particular tab or mute all the others.

If the audio is coming from a video, you can enter picture-
in-picture mode from the Audio icon; right-click on it and
select the option. This puts the video in a floating window, which
you can watch while doing other things on your Mac.
