An annoying issue. Opening a tab opens with Top Sites. Cannot add a site to Top Sites.

 

If I open a new tab and right click the background I only have Frequently Visited Sites ticked which is apparently, Top Sites. Safari Preferences doesn't show Top Sites anywhere, neither does the Share option to add a site. Its like the Top Sites is disabled. Plus Frequently Visited Sites (which if ticked shows Top Sites) they dont change based on browsing habits. Plus I can't right click a site and pin it or remove it.

 

Any ideas? Google just tells me how to add sites etc, but Top Sites doesnt exist on my Safari

What are you wanting to do when you open a new tab? Is there no way to configure that is the settings - General under Safari?

Looks likeTop Sites is now Favourites so I have to re create that. Frequently Visited Sites has 8 icons maybe that’s max but it doesn’t seem to work as it never changes. Can’t pin or unpin either. While Google told me how to add top sites further searches showed other annoyed users

I use favourites at the top and then frequently visited - which is eclectic, but doesnt duplicate the favourites interestingly.

Right at the bottom in ios17 you can change some settings including show/don’t show items and sync across devices. Have the same across ipad, iphone and mac.
