Turn Off Preload Top Hit
A cool Safari feature is that the browser will start loading the first search result whenever you search for something on Google. That way, you won’t have to wait that long for it to change, and you can get to what you were looking for almost instantly.
Of course, if you’re using data, that means you’re consuming data without you even knowing about it. Plus, you’re also spending a bit more battery than you should. Fortunately, you can turn it off really easily.
