Security

Many Web sites use plug-ins, Java, and JavaScript. Unless you have security concerns you may wish to turn these options on.

The block pop-up windows is great at blocking most pop-up advertising. However, some Web pages rely on pop-up windows so even if you choose to block them here, you can temporarily allow them while surfing:

From the Safari menu, de-select Block Pop-up Windows.
