Hello 🙂
I have carefully read the information set out here:-
Bookmark websites that you want to revisit in Safari on Mac - Apple Support
However, I'd like to know if there is a simple method of putting Safari back to where it would have been when a computer was brand new. I am aware that this is not achieved simply by reinstalling the macOS.
Please advise.
Earlier Mac models
Safari “ Out of the Box Experience “ ?
A - Safari >> Settings >> Extensions tab
Remove any Third Party Safari Extensions
B - Safari >> Settings >> Advanced
Using these setting seems to work well for me
C - Safari >> Settings >> Advanced
Show feature from Web Developers >> Empty Caches
D - Safari >> Settings >> Privacy >> Manage Websites Data >> Remove ALL
E - Evercookie
Notation: I do not have the v1 folder on MyComputer so it appears there are none of these evercookies
Close Safari first
On desktop go to GO and then GO TO FOLDER
Copy and paste this ~/Library/Safari/Databases
A folder called _indexedDB
Open _indexedDB
See another folder called v1 and open it
The folder inside the v1 can be Drag and Drop to Trash
Launch Safari again and check if all is ok

How can one reset Safari to be in pristine (out-of-the-box) condition?
