How do I get rid of a Safari Bookmark?

[rbpeirce]

They are easy to add but I can't figure out how to remove one. I just discovered a completely empty bookmark called "Tab Group Favorites" that I don't recall creating or even seeing before but I can't get rid of it.

If you click on Bookmarks in the to Menu bar, then select Edit Bookmarks. From there you can delete bookmarks.

Didn't work for "Tab Group Favorites." This may be some kind of protected Safari bookmark I never noticed before. It is aggravating because it is empty.

I don't think you can remove it.

It is set there by default for you to add to. The following might help:-

In Safari on your Mac, arrange tabs in Tab Groups, choose a background for the start page of each Tab Group, and share them across your Apple devices.

There have been a number of 'hidden' changes recently. My Safari search engine changed to Ecosia the other day and I thought I'd been got at by the nasties out there. Turns out Ecosia is a new search engine added to the defaults on Safari!!

 

[rbpeirce]

That was my conclusion after I tried to remove it. My default search engine hasn't changed, but I never heard of Ecosia!

You can rename it or delete the name, but the folder stays.

Ecosia has been an option in Safari for a while,

If you have it showing on the Toolbar of Safari and want it gone, right click on the Toolbar (CTRL-click) and then click on Customize Toolbar. A window will open with all of the things that CAN be on the Toolbar. To get rid of "Tab Group Favorites," click, drag and drop it into the options window. That gets it off the Toolbar.

Ecosia search engine has been around for years and could always be added to the range of search engine options in Safari but now it is included by default.
As suggested by the name Ecosia is a search engine with an ecological concience, they use the money generated from ad content in their search results to plant trees.

@Rod,

Despite being totally uninterested in using Ecosia, I vaguely thought that maybe it had something to with Scotland (Ecosse - French language term for Scotland).

Maybe they plant trees there too, I don't know but it did give it a try, ages ago, it wasn't very good.
