QuickTip: Open Safari downloads

Do you ever download a .zip file with Safari, then find it in your downloads folder and double-click on it to extract it? Today’s QuickTip gets Safari to open “safe” files for you once they’re downloaded (e.g., .dmg, .zip).

Open "safe" files after downloading

Click the checkbox, and Safari will open archives and images for you once they've downloaded

To turn on this option, click Command + , (or go to Safari -> Preferences) and click the “Open ‘safe’ files after downloaded” checkbox. That’s all there is to it!
