How do I add websites to my "Top Sites

I sincerely hope the article below assists you:

https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/see-your-top-sites-ibrw53c401e7/mac

you can add the sites that you used to have set as Top Sites to favorites:

they will then show up on your Start Page:

then you open the start page by clicking the old top sites button:

not really much of a difference.

As of the new update (9/17/2020) Safari v 14.0. top sites have disappeared.

The link https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/see-your-top-sites-ibrw53c401e7/mac referenced by jasonflying no longer works.

How can we get the Top Sites back?

Where is Top Sites in Safari v 14.0????? Why would it be removed and replaced with favorites? Another "improvement" made at the expense of simple, helpful features. Add all the new 'bells and whistles' you want, please don't remove the old ones.

The problem I have is that I had about 20 Top Sites, some I only used once every few months. They are buried deeply in the companies' websites and are hard to find. I cannot recall 7-10 of these websites, and don't wish to waste time looking for them now. It would be nice to identify them in one of my Safari subfolders.

Anybody know where they were located?

I totally agree... I don't even have the Favourites Bar showing! I would like my large in-your-face page images returned as Top Sites or whatever... but they're not favourites! Some of us actually use our MacBooks, etc, for work.

The answer from Jasonflying does not help. I want the top sites I choose. That is what I use for my home page. Why in the world do I need Favorites when they are already at the top of the page, I don't give a darn what Siri suggests, and the reading list is already readily available. Why this useless repetition while denying us any access to top sites? PLEASE return top sites. People who don't want to use don't have to. At least make it an option on this ridiculous and useless start page that you have foisted on to us. I've never used anything but Macs both at home and at work, but I'm just about fed up.

Thanks, but the "Customize your Start Page" section assists only to the extent that it makes it obvious that Apple made this lousy and unannounced move on purpose. In no way does these customizations work as a functional replacement for the Top Sites page. I would like to know why the "Frequently Visited" section contains only two sites - which aren't that important.

Maybe Apple thought "we should put the new (and valuable) Privacy Report someplace where people will be sure to see it", but then in the process thought - "well we might as well change everything else about that page while we're at it!"

This is a major bungle. Apple has done stupid things before; maybe they just wanted to remind us they're not perfect?

There is a huge difference when you had all your sites saved there and then they're EFFFING GONE when you update. If I could cuss out apple on here I WOULD. SO FU******KING AGGRAVATING!!

Sites that I had bookmarked that I had to write surveys for the answer the content. A**HOLES.

And totally erroneous that there is still a top sites option, and yet, there's no top sites.

**** you apple.

I have this question also..

RobertJr is spot on! I want to control content not Ai I don't use. Top sites was most people's home page. PLEASE return TOP Sites!
