Both of those methods work but are rather inefficient. And given how busy we all are these days, an effective workflow is crucial. You don’t want to waste precious time and you could wind up missing or losing that email. What do you do? If your desktop web browser of choice is Safari, you’re in luck. With the help of a handy feature called Reading List which is exactly what it sounds like…a reading list of webpages you’ve saved for later viewing. With the Reading List, you can keep a collection of pages you want to read later or even pages you frequently access but don’t want to bother with boookmarking (which is so early 2000s). The Reading List is available for both mobile and desktop versions of Safari but I’m only going to demonstrate it on the desktop iteration (because I’m an Android user). I’m going to show you not only how to add webpages to your reading list but how to access it and purge any item.

How to remove entries from the Reading List
At some point, you’re probably going to find your Reading List has become overcrowded with entries. When that happens, the handy little feature becomes too bloated to be useful. And although there is a search option for the Reading List, if you wind up with too many entries, what was once helpful becomes a hindrance. Fortunately, deleting an item from the list is just a matter of right-clicking an entry and selecting Remove Item. Or, if you want to purge your Reading List, click Clear All Items and everything will be deleted. And that’s all there is to the Safari Reading List. You really should start making use of this feature to help improve your daily workflow with Apple’s native browser. I’ve been using the Reading List for years and have found it to be quite helpful.
