1. Visit the website you’d like to add to your Favorites by typing the URL in the address bar.
2. Hover over the address bar (or Smart Search Field as Apple likes to call it) until you see a ‘+’

5. Release.

Now the website has been added to your Favorites. And will appear on your Start page. But also in the Sidebar. To see your Favorites there:

2. Click on ‘Bookmarks’ at the the bottom of the Sidebar.
3. You will find your ‘Favorites’ at the top of the list.

Another place where you will find your Favorites is via the address bar. Simply click on the address bar and your Favorites will appear below the Smart Search Field.
