IOS – How to close multiple tabs in safari iOS 8

iosiphonesafaritabs

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 8, and after some minuts I ran into a problem.. 10+ open tabs in safari and I want to close them all at once. On iOS 7 I used to press the "private browse mode" and it would ask "Want to close all tabs?" Now it just goes into private browsing mode, without asking.

So is it possible to close all tabs at once?

Best Answer

in Safari iOS 10 you can close all tabs by holding down the tab button

IOS – (How) Can a web site determine if Safari Private Browsing is turned on

On iOS, HTML5's local storage is not available in private browsing mode, which means you can detect it by attempting to save something to local storage and catching the exception with the following JavaScript:

try { localStorage.test = 2; } catch (e) {
  alert('You are in Private Browsing mode');
}

On OS X, there's not really a canonical method, but this should provide some useful information:

MacOS – Keep sessions between private tabs

No, this is currently not possible. Safari Private Browsing tabs and windows do not share any session data and are completely independent.

From the Apple Support KB "Safari for Mac: Use Private Browsing windows in Safari":

Each tab in the window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t track your browsing in other tabs.
