The Terminal "open" command does not control how you interact with Safari, and cannot direct Safari to create a new tab. However, it can be done with a short Zsh (or Bash) script assigned to a shell as a function, alias, or in this example, a Zsh function that is available to you when you launch the Terminal application.

Put the following code in your newly created ~/.zshenv file. This file is automatically read by Zsh on opening a new Terminal, and the function will then be available for you to run on the Terminal command-line:

Once you have added this in the ~/.zshenv file, you can make it immediately active by:

And, to open a new browser tab in Safari, you run the function in the Terminal as:

You may be able to make it even simpler by using the "open" command like this:

I would suggest trying the "-n" option as well if it does not open a new window/tab. The "-n" option allows opening another instance of the app.

You will want to replace "<URL>" with the proper URL you want Safari to open. I suggest keeping the double quotes.

Run Safari from terminal with given URL address without open command

I'm having trouble with opening Safari from terminal. Command I tried is

Safari opens and tries to navigate to the url:

I know, I could do it using open :

But I can't. The bigger picture is quite complicated: I'm actually trying to run the browser from command-line .NET application (which is running using mono). I use System.Process .NET class to run the command and I have to be able to control the process (get process Id, check if it's active, kill it if necessary, etc.). Using open command does not return correct process Id (I tried using open with -W switch - does not help either).

• command-line

One solution would doing this in 2 times

• Open safari
• Using AppleScript to open the url tell application "Safari" to open location "http://www.google.com"

Here is a oneliner :

NB: you need to wait before running the AppleScript because Safari is not started yet. The sleep 1 might not work in every case since it will really depend on how much time Safari will need to start.

• It get's a little more tricky because I'm trying to fire it from Process .NET class, but I was able to work problems around using your solution, and that's why I'm setting it as accepted. Thanks! –  MarcinJuraszek Dec 17, 2013 at 21:05

Your Mac's Terminal app gives you a Linux command line inside the OS X environment. You can use the Terminal to run applications or open files in the program of your choice. In this wikiHow tutorial, you'll learn easy ways to launch applications from the Mac Terminal app, and how to troubleshoot and fix common Terminal troubles.

Opening an Application

• To open iTunes: open -a iTunes
• Use quotation marks if the application has a space in its name: open -a "App Store"

• For example, you can open a .doc file with TextEdit: open Downloads/Instructions.doc -a TextEdit

• Use -e to specify TextEdit, or -t to specify your default text editor: open Downloads/Instructions.doc -e
• Add -g to keep the application in the background, so you remain centered in Terminal: open -g -a iTunes

• open -F -a TextEdit

• open -n -a "Wake Up Time" (Note: this is not a default OS X program.)
• This may cause unexpected behavior in other applications that interact with the duplicate application.

• Locate the application in Finder.
• Right-click the application and select "Show Package Contents."
• Locate the executable file. Typically, this is in Contents → MacOS , and has the same name as the application.
• Drag that file onto your blank Terminal command line. Hit Enter to launch that program.
• Leave your Terminal window open while you use the application. Quit the application to return to regular Terminal operations.

Troubleshooting

• Click the apple symbol in the top left corner of your screen.
• Hold down ⌥ Option and click System Information in the drop-down menu.
• In the System Information window's left sidebar, click Software → Applications . It may take a couple minutes to load the list.

• An absolute file path always begins with the symbol / . It describes the file path in relation to the root directory (usually "Macintosh HD").

• Enter pwd to check your current directory. The file you are trying to open must be within this directory, not at a higher level.
• Find your current directory in Finder. Open a series of folder until you reach the file you'd like to open.
• Type in the names of the folders you opened in order, separated by / symbols, then end with the file name. For example, open Documents/Writing/Novel/ch3.pdf . (You may start with ./ in front of Documents for the same result.)

• Select the file in Finder. Press ⌘ Command + I . In the Info window, look for "file name & extension" to see the whole name.
• Or switch directories to the folder that contains the file. Enter ls into your Terminal command line to list all files in your directory.
• Or drag and drop the file into your Terminal window.

Community Q&A

• You can use * as a wildcard to represent any sequence of characters, or ? to represent any single character. [8] X Research source This works in file names, but not application names. For example, open budget* will open the first file in your directory that begins with "budget." open budget?.pdf would open "budget1.pdf" but would not open "budget2015.pdf," since the ? character only represents a single character.

• Some commands are not available for early versions of OS X. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

How to open and use the Terminal app on a Mac computer, with a few basic commands you can use to take control of your operating system

• The Mac Terminal is a command line system that can help you quickly take control of your operating system and make changes.
• Getting to the Terminal app is easy — you can navigate via your Mac's Finder or through Spotlight.
• You can use it to do things like open an application, open a file (through its default app), or open a file using a specific application or the text editor.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

If you're new to the Mac Terminal, think of it as the ultimate command shortcut hub, one that allows you to take control of your operating system in a super quick and efficient way (it's also something you might use if you're familiar with UNIX operating systems).

Learning to use the Terminal is kind of like speaking a different language — you'll have to familiarize yourself with at least the general rules to use it properly.

For example, every character you type matters, even spaces; you navigate through lines using your arrow keys; and you have to press the "return," or "enter," button to give a command.

(We'll run through a few basic commands you might want to use later on.)

But first, you'll have to open the Terminal. Here's how:

How to open the Terminal on a Mac

There are two primary avenues you can use to get to the Terminal: the Applications folder in your Finder, or searching in Spotlight. Here's a quick run-through of both processes.

Opening Terminal through the Finder

1. Click the Finder logo, located in the bottom toolbar of your screen (it looks like a two-toned smiling face).

2. On the left toolbar, click "Applications" (if that was the last folder you visited within the Finder, Finder will open to this folder automatically).

3. Scroll down and open the "Utilities" folder.

4. Double click "Terminal" to launch it.

Opening Terminal through Spotlight

1. Press the "Command" button and the space bar, simultaneously (this will open a search bar on your screen).

2. Type "Terminal" (as you type, it should auto-fill).

3. Double click "Terminal" in the left sidebar to open your Mac's Terminal

If you plan on using the Terminal a lot, it's a good idea to pin it to your computer's bottom toolbar (the "dock") for easier access. To do that, right-click the Terminal logo in the dock (it should appear there as long as Terminal is open). Then hover over "Options" and select "Keep in Dock."

A few basic commands you can use on a Mac's Terminal

Remember: After typing in each command, you'll have to hit the return button for the command to take hold. Here are a few useful commands to know, and make sure to copy the exact phrasing and spacing below into your commands:

Open an application:

Open -a APPLICATION

Or, if the application has a space in its name:

Open -a "APPLICATION NAME"

Open a file using the default application:

For this, you'll have to know the command pathway for the file you want to access. To do so, you can either drag the file to the Terminal window to add to the line, or right click the file and select "Copy [NAME]" and then use the Command+V shortcut to paste it into the Terminal. Even though the latter appears to only copy the actual file name, it actually captures the full pathway. In either case, hit the spacebar following the app name and then the command would take hold.

Open [FILE PATHWAY]

Open a file using an application you specify:

Again, you'll need the file pathway to use this command.

Open -a "APP NAME" [FILE PATHWAY]

Open a text-based file using the text editor:

Note that the file pathway is also fundamental here.

Open -a Text Edit [FILE PATHWAY]

If you need to get to your Terminal's settings, hold down the command key while tapping the comma button. And, in case you want to stop a command you've input, you can do that by tapping the window (if it isn't already selected) and holding down the "control" key and hitting "c." Or, if you want to repeat a command, simply use the up arrow key to cycle through previously used commands and, when you see the one you want, press "return."

Don't worry if you make a mistake in your command pathways: You'll just get a message back saying something along the lines of, "No such file or directory exists."

How to permanently disable incognito mode in your browser.

Deactivate private browsing mode.

Quick Links

Turning off vs. disabling incognito mode, how to disable incognito mode in chrome for windows, how to disable incognito mode in chrome for macos, how to disable private browsing in safari on iphone and macos, how to disable inprivate mode in edge for windows, can you disable private browsing in firefox, key takeaways.

• You can turn off private browsing in Chrome on Windows and macOS by running a command in Command Prompt and Terminal.
• In Microsoft Edge, you can turn off private browsing through Registry Editor. Unfortunately, there's no native way to turn it off in Firefox.
• You'll need to adjust content restriction settings to turn off private browsing mode in Safari on macOS and iOS.

If you share your phone or computer with children or minors and want to monitor their browsing activity, consider turning off the private browsing mode. Let's explore how you can turn it off in Google Chrome for Windows and macOS, Microsoft Edge for Windows, and Safari for iPhone and macOS.

If you've opened private browsing mode and only want to leave it, turning it off is simple in all major browsers on desktop and mobile devices . Just exit the browser completely, and you'll be out of incognito mode the next time you open it.

However, if you want to completely disable incognito mode to prevent others from using it on a device, you'll need to turn it off permanently, and that has a few more steps involved.

To turn off private browsing mode in Chrome on a Windows device, type CMD into the Windows Search bar, right-click the "Command Prompt" app, and select "Run as Administrator." Ensure you run the Command Prompt utility with administrative privileges to avoid encountering errors while turning off private browsing mode.

Once you've opened Command Prompt as an administrator, copy and paste the following command into the window, and then press the Enter key:

After executing this command, exit the Command Prompt window. You should now see that Incognito mode has been disabled (grayed out) in Chrome.

If you decide to re-enable private browsing later, use the above command again in Command Prompt, but replace the "1" with "0," like so:

To turn off private browsing in Chrome on a macOS device, first launch Terminal . Press Command+Space to open the Spotlight search window. Then, type Terminal and double-click "Terminal" in the search results to open it.

In the Terminal window, enter the following command:

Press Enter after typing the command.

After executing the command, close the Terminal window. You'll find that private browsing mode has been turned off in Chrome.

Safari doesn't offer a direct option to turn off private browsing mode. However, by adjusting content restrictions for web content, you can disable Safari's private browsing mode on both iPhone and macOS.

Disable Private Browsing on an iPhone

To adjust these permissions on an iPhone, open your device's settings and tap "Screen Time." If Screen Time isn't enabled, tap "Turn on Screen Time," then tap "Continue" on the following page to activate it.

Next, set up a passcode for Screen Time to prevent your child from making unauthorized changes. To do this, tap on "Use Screen Time Passcode," set a passcode, and confirm it on the next page. This will protect Screen Time with the passcode.

Now, navigate to "Content and Privacy Restrictions." Enable the toggle next to "Content and Privacy Restrictions" and tap on "Content Restrictions." You may need to enter the passcode to access the content restrictions settings.

In this menu, tap "Web Content" and select "Limit Adult Websites" from the available options. Once done, exit this menu, and you'll notice that the private browsing option is no longer available in Safari.

Disable Private Browsing on a Mac

To turn off private browsing mode on a macOS device, open System Preferences from the Dock, navigate to "Screen Time" in the left sidebar, and, under Restrictions, open "Content and Privacy" settings.

Enable the toggle next to Content and Privacy. Then, open the "Content Restrictions" settings and select "Limit Adult Websites" from the Access to Web Content menu. Once selected, click "Done" in the bottom-right corner.

Upon returning to Safari, you'll notice that the "New Private Window" option has now been grayed out, indicating that the private browsing mode has been successfully disabled.

If you use Microsoft Edge as your default browser on a Windows device, you can turn off private browsing mode via Registry Editor.

To open Registry Editor, press Win+R, type regedit , and press Enter. Then, click "Yes" in the User Account Control (UAC) window.

In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Policies > Microsoft > Edge.

If some of these keys don't exist already, you can create them by right-clicking and selecting New > Key. Then, rename the key accordingly.

Select "Edge," right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it InPrivateModeAvailability . Double-click the value, set the Value Data to "1," and click "OK."

Now, close the Registry Editor and restart your Windows PC.

Misconfiguring Registry Editor can lead to severe consequences. Make sure to follow the above steps carefully when tweaking the keys. For added safety, you can make a backup of the Registry. .

Unlike other browsers, there's no browser or operating system-level solution to turn off private browsing in Mozilla Firefox. The only available method involves using an extension that turns off private browsing. However, due to the associated risks with third-party extensions, we strongly advise against using them.

If you use Firefox as the default browser, remove it from your computer, set Chrome or Edge as your default browser, and turn off private browsing for them. If you have a Windows laptop, you can use Microsoft's Family Safety app to restrict access to any browser other than Edge. Also, you can implement content filters within Edge to disable access to inappropriate content.

You can now prevent your child or other users from browsing privately.

While the above methods will turn off private browsing in browsers, keep an eye on your child whenever they browse the web. They may find ways to work around these restrictions.

iOS 18 May Feature All-New 'Safari Browsing Assistant'

iOS 18 will apparently feature a new Safari browsing assistant, according to backend code on Apple's servers discovered by Nicolás Álvarez . MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris confirmed that the code exists, but not many details are known at this time.

Update: Álvarez has since said that iCloud Private Relay might not be related to this feature.

A browsing assistant in Safari could be one of the many new generative AI features that are rumored to be coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 later this year. There are already multiple iPhone web browsers with AI tools, such as Microsoft Edge with a GPT-4-powered Copilot and Arc Search , which can summarize web pages to provide concise information.

Álvarez also uncovered a so-called "Encrypted Visual Search" feature in the backend code on Apple's servers, but no specific details are known. MacRumors contributor Steve Moser last year discovered a new Visual Search feature for Apple's Vision Pro headset in visionOS beta code, which would allow users to copy and paste printed text from the real world into apps and more, but the feature has yet to launch. It is possible that Apple is planning to debut a more secure version of the feature. However, the code could also relate to the iPhone's existing Visual Look Up feature that can identify objects in photos and videos.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 18 during its WWDC keynote on June 10 , so we should learn more about these potential new features in a few more months.

Man arrested after punching 9-year-old girl in Grand Central Terminal, police say

By CBS New York Team

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 11:23 PM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK -- Police have arrested a man accused of assaulting a child in Grand Central Terminal on Saturday.

It happened around 11:50 a.m. in the dining concourse.

Police say a 9-year-old girl was standing near her mother when a man walked up to them and, unprovoked, punched the child in the face before running off.

MTA Police officers responded to render aid to the child. The victim was taken to a local hospital to be treated for dizziness and pain.

The MTA said Saturday that the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Jean Carlos Zarzuela, was arrested Saturday night.

Zarzuela has been charged with assault.

MTA Police said the suspect is known to them.

You can open the program by simply right-clicking on the Start button and selecting “Terminal” or “Terminal (Administrator)” or by right-clicking on a folder in Explorer or on the desktop and selecting “Open in Terminal.”
