Automatically Close Your Safari Tabs
Another new change in Sonoma is the ability to automatically close tabs in Safari. If you keep a tab open in one of your profiles or groups for long enough without revisiting it, your Mac can automatically close it for you to save system resources and protect your privacy.
You can choose to have Safari close unused tabs after one day, one week, or one month. Here’s how to enable this feature:
- Open Safari.
- Click Safari in the top left corner of your screen.
- Select Settings.
- Go to the Tabs tab at the top of the window.
- Next to Automatically close tabs, select the option you want.
Note that this timer is based on the last time you actually accessed a tab, not from the time you first opened it.
