How to Make a CSS Style for Safari Only

Web designers and coders use cascading style sheets, or CSS, to set up certain rules for your browser to follow when you visit their website. For instance, they can control how the font appears, as well as any breaks in the page. One of the downsides of using CSS is that different browsers may interpret the rules differently. This means that what looks great in Internet Explorer might look horrible in your Safari browser. Unfortunately, no code exists that allows you to specify different settings for each browser, which means you'll need to import your CSS sheet into Safari.

Instructions

1. Download a CSS file that you want to use with Safari. If you have in-depth CSS knowledge, you can also code your own CSS sheet. An example of a style sheet that you might download is one that blocks advertising.

2. Start Safari by clicking the icon.

3. Click "Safari," then "Preferences."

4. Click "Advanced."

5. Open the style sheet drop-down menu and click "Other."

6. Browse to your downloaded or coded CSS sheet and select it. Click "Open."

7. Restart Safari. Your CSS sheet will be applied to your Safari browser.
