Website data retrieval

I’m trying to retrieve my Safari website data so I can save it to flash drive. I go to settings and scroll down to Safari>Advance>website data. I can see the data, but when I click on it, I can’t access the websites. How can I access the websites to see what I read, AND be able to save to a flash drive.

Also, at the bottom of the Safari page, just above Advance, under the heading Reading List, there is a topic, ‘Automatically save offline’ with a button toggled on( I didn’t do it), where do I find this reading list to access offline.

Another thing, when I click on Advance, just below website data is ‘JavaScript’ also toggled on, what’s that for, how do I know when to have it on or off.

I know this shows the level of my cyber knowledge…or lack thereof, but I’m getting there.

Thanks to anyone or everyone who can shed some light on these questions.

Hi LevelVibes9,



Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you would like to save your Safari Reading List and be able to view it offline, as well as some questions about JavaScript. We would like to assist.

As for JavaScript, the enable button allows JavaScript, which websites use for buttons, forms, and other content. Some websites can’t work properly if you disable JavaScript.


We hope this helps.


Take care.
