Just what I was looking for.

The method really works. I was just looking for something like this. I have never worked with the Safari browser at all and I recently had to get acquainted with it. I also read about private browsing safari, a friend sent me some informative information https://moonlock.com/private-browsing-safari and by the way, now I only use safari! It's really very minimalistic and comfortable. It also turns out to be well protected.
