how do i select something at the very bottom of my safari screen without bringing up the toolbar ??

I'm pulling up a webpage and the option that I need to select is at the very bottom of the webpage. Everytime I try to select what I need the toolbar comes up instead of selecting what I want. How do I correct this??

In Safari how do I set my cursor to be in the URL bar, not the search engine I am updating the information posted by JNM554 here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250316292?login=true The default behaviour of Safari when opening a new tab or window is to position your cursor in the search_engine_of_your choice search box. This frustrated me if I know the URL I am after. e.g. I am using google as my search engine, but I know ebay.co.uk is the URL I want, the default behaviour in Safari is to position my cursor in the google search box, not the top search bar. It is easy to fix this, open safari preferences In the general tab change the "New tabs open with:" from Homepage to "Empty Page" Do the same for the "New windows open with:" if that is your desire. I hope this helps others.

Auto select search bar Hi. Whenever I open a new tab, it automatically selects the search bar for me and I can start typing without having to drag my mouse up there to click on the search bar. Today when I opened up Safari, it didn't do the thing. Is there a way to change it back?

Start the selection process toward the top of the area you wish to select. Here I started in the upper left of the blue rectangular area. I can then extend the rectangle to the bottom of the screen.
