How do I get Google to open when I open Safari?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To get Google to open when you open Safari, you will need to set it as your homepage. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Launch the Safari browser on your computer. You can find it in your applications folder or use Spotlight search to locate it quickly.

2. Once Safari is open, look at the top left corner of your screen and click on the “Safari” option in the menu bar.

3. From the dropdown menu that appears, select “Preferences.” This will open a popup box with various preference options and tabs.

4. In the popup box, you will see a row of tabs at the top. Click on the tab labeled “General.” This is where you can customize general settings for Safari.

5. In the General tab, you will see a section called “Homepage.” This is where you can specify the website that should open when you launch Safari.

6. Inside the Homepage field, you will see a default URL. Delete the existing URL and replace it with “https://www.google.com/” (without the quotation marks).

7. After entering the Google URL, you can close the Preferences popup box. Your changes will be automatically saved.

Now, whenever you open Safari, it should automatically load Google as your homepage. This means that Google’s search engine and other services will be readily available for your use.

Setting Google as your homepage can be convenient if you frequently use Google for web searches or other tasks. However, please note that changing your homepage will not affect existing tabs or windows in Safari. It will only apply to new instances of the browser that you open.

I hope this helps you get Google to open when you open Safari. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask.
