Do any of you gents know how to remove this website from appearing in Safari's Top Hits? I tried to remove it using the Privacy > Do not load Top Hits in background option, but no joy. None of the website "clearing" options seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

1. Quit Safari
2. Go to ~/Library/Safari/ in finder.
3. Find "History.plist" file and edit it using textedit or text wrangler. (you may want to backup this file in case you messed it up)
4. Search in the file for the URL (for e.g. yoursearch.com) or the text you are entering in the "top hits".
5. Identify the parent "<dict> .... External Link/Members Only ..... </dict>" and delete it from the file.
6. Find any other instances of the same and delete the entire "<dict>" tags.
6. Start Safari and enjoy. "yoursearch.com" will no longer be there.

Anth's answer sounds like it might work.

But what about the simpler option of unticking some of the default preferences (after deleting history and also bookmark -- just type in the full address to access the site)

Hidden Image/Members Only

But another answer is don't use Safari.
a) it's an ok browser but not very adaptable. Apple rules only.
b) they update it quite often with the latest mac update, so any answer that used to work might stop working.

Firefox is easy to customise with add-ons and a good browser.

Just use firefox/chrome + privacy browsing - that is if you are not using Tor.

I think so many people are going to get pissed off with the new snooper charters that using Tor or Onion versions will become far more standard. About 80% of the population oppose govt snooper charters on principle. Independent experts suggest they are doing very little to control terrorism. It's easy to get maximum power over everyone's life that trusts. Terrorists now have the latest expertise on hacking and security so it makes no difference to them. Personally I feel Firefox respect me a bit more. Chrome is a damn good browser but it's owned by Google. As government snooping is used for financial advantage of big companies I think more and more small businesses will start using Tor browsers. Also writers, researchers, journalists who don't want to be misconstrued or breach confidentiality. Universities will start to use them to prevent poaching of material. Anyone working in or a member of an organisation that is legal but independent in criticism such as Amnesty International is probably using protected servers already.

JimmyRedCab has been an ardent supporter of the "nothing to hide" camp, and I disagree with him as it's about privacy and respect for privacy, not secrecy. But he is feeling the pinch from the American company Uber. America routinely uses internet snooping for trade advantage so it may well impact him indirectly.

I don't think punters have anything to worry about just yet but escort services are likely to be targetted at some point.
