Safari can open a lot of file types for you. PDF files, images, music files - all can be displayed within Safari without the need of downloading it to your Mac and opening them from your Downloads folder.

Previously we looked at how we can find menu items only by their name with the help of the search feature of the Help menu item, available in every application.

Where to start this? Butler is simply one of those tools you won’t be able to live without, once you have it.

Bonus: Safari has auto-completion of your input built in. So instead of typing www.mackindergarten.com you only need to type mackindergarten in the address bar and Safari will add “www.” in front and “.com” in the back.
