Customizing your browser's toolbar simplifies the process of accessing the tools and websites you use most often. Although Apple redesigned several aspects of its Web browser when it released Safari 8 with OS X Yosemite, you can still customize the browser's toolbar via the View menu. Drag and drop your desired buttons, including the Home button, to the location you want, and you're all set.
Step 1
