Page tools
Screenshots, a page's QR code, clearing a site's data, and a hard reload.
The browser menu in the titlebar (the ☰ button at the top left) has a group of tools for the page you're on: Screenshot, QR code, and Clear site data, with Hard reload beside Reload.
Screenshots
There are three kinds:
| Mode | Takes |
|---|---|
| Select area | A rectangle you drag out. It can be taller than the window |
| Visible area | What you can see of the page |
| Full page | The whole page, top to bottom |
To take one:
- Press ⌘Ctrl⇧Shift2 and pick a mode. Press its number (1 to 3), use the arrow keys and Enter, or click it.
- Press the Screenshot button (the camera) in the titlebar's top right.
- Use Screenshot in the browser menu.
Every screenshot is copied to the clipboard straight away, and the Dynamic Island shows it with these buttons:
- Save puts it in your downloads folder as a PNG.
- Save as… asks where to put it.
- Show opens the folder it was saved to.
Right-click the island for Copy Screenshot Again.
Select area
Drag a rectangle over the page, and letting go takes it. To take more than fits on screen, scroll with the wheel or drag near the top or bottom edge while you select. Enter takes the visible area instead, and Esc or a right-click cancels.
Full page
The browser scrolls down the page a screen at a time and joins the pieces, so lazy-loading images and content that appears as you scroll are in the shot. You'll see the page scroll while it works. Headers that stick to the top show once, not on every piece. Very long pages, like endless feeds, are cut off, and the island says you got the top part of the page.
Screenshot keys
Settings → Keyboard shortcuts → Screenshot has a row for each:
| Action | Default keys |
|---|---|
| Choose a mode | ⌘Ctrl⇧Shift2 |
| Select area | None |
| Visible area | None |
| Full page | None |
Give a mode its own keys to take it without picking from the list.
A soft shutter sound plays as each shot is taken. Turn it off in Settings → Audio, mic, and SFX → Alerts with Sound when a screenshot is taken.
You can also put a Screenshot button on the command center's bottom bar in Settings → Tab dialog. It closes the command center and starts Select area.
QR code
QR code shows the page's address as a QR code you can scan with your phone. It's always black on white, whatever your theme, so cameras read it. Copy image (⌘CtrlC) and Save image (⌘CtrlS) give you a PNG; right-click the code for the same.
Clear site data
Clear site data clears data for the site you're on, including its subdomains:
| Option | Clears |
|---|---|
| Cache | Files the site saved to load faster |
| Cookies and site data | Cookies, local storage, databases, and service workers. This signs you out of the site |
| Cookies, site data and cache | Both |
The page then reloads, and the island says what was cleared. In an incognito window, it clears that window's data only. It works on web pages, not the browser's own pages.
Hard reload
Hard reload (⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftR) reloads the page without using anything cached, for when a page looks stuck on an old version. A plain reload is ⌘CtrlR.
