When clicking on the address bar it pops up your "Frequently Visited" sites. Has anyone found a way to change this to specific sites you choose yourself? I can't seem to find any options for this, which sucks, because the sites listed definitely aren't the ones I visit the most often. It lists eBay, which I rarely use, over others I use daily. Kind of weird.

It's not just your bookmarks, as the above posters have said. There is one section that is your bookmarks, and below that is a clearly labeled "Frequently Visited" section.

As with OP, that section is populated with sites that I have visited maybe once or twice, as opposed to sites I visit most often. I have also not found a way to change this, and reckon it'll be something that can be done in future updates.

Some of mine are bookmarks, others aren't. Not sure how they choose what goes there, but I hope they add an option to customize it. I really don't need eBay as an option. lol.

I put all my bookmarks into folders. I than went to preferences in safari, than to search and un-clicked the four options listed in smart search field. Now all that shows is a very thin blank bar. :)

safari downloads

Have they added an option to "ask where to save each file before downloading" to Safari preferences rather than having to select a default location?
