Besides fast web surfing, Safari eliminates blinking advertisements for easing viewing. It puts an online article into a continuous, uninterrupted form for convenient reading. It keeps track of most-visited sites and saves their thumbnails. To find a webpage, the user can flip through thumbnails as he would through an album in iTunes. Safari's user interface and controls only appear when necessary, leaving more room for the page to display. It is especially convenient for mobile devices with small screens.
