Publisher's Synopsis
MacOS Big Sur has got a fresh redesign, and that's the most significant update. Icons are being completely redesigned. The browsing experience on Safari is now faster and more efficient. It can load web pages 50 times faster than Chrome and still keep excellent power efficiency, which enables your computer to run all day without expending its battery life. You can change or add a background to your favorite homepage, which is a nice little touch. If you are browsing a page in a different language on Safari, the new translation or dynamic translation icon will identify and change dynamically to any language you want. There are a few new additions to the Maps app where you can select favorites and save them. A couple of new developer tools that make it easier for apps that run on iOS or your iPad to bridge straight over to your Mac have been added, and this book will guide you through how to navigate these new updates on the MacOS Big Sur.
