Setting Safari preferences from script on Big Sur
I have a Mac mini 2020 with an M1 processor and running macOS Big Sur.
On older macs I had this script to set Safari preferences
# Show status bar
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowStatusBar -bool true
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowOverlayStatusBar -bool true
# Show the full URL in the address bar (note: this still hides the scheme)
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowFullURLInSmartSearchField -bool true
# Safari opens with: last session
defaults write com.apple.Safari AlwaysRestoreSessionAtLaunch -bool true
# Set Safari’s home page to `about:blank` for faster loading
defaults write com.apple.Safari HomePage -string "about:blank"
# Enable the Develop menu and the Web Inspector in Safari
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDevelopMenu -bool true
# Enable Safari’s debug menu
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu -bool true
# Update extensions automatically
defaults write com.apple.Safari InstallExtensionUpdatesAutomatically -bool true
# Make Safari’s search banners default to Contains instead of Starts With
defaults write com.apple.Safari FindOnPageMatchesWordStartsOnly -bool false
# Website use of location services
# 0 = Deny without prompting
# 1 = Prompt for each website once each day
# 2 = Prompt for each website one time only
defaults write com.apple.Safari SafariGeolocationPermissionPolicy -int 2
However, none of them seem to work anymore. Is there a new way to set similar preferences?
The one for "Show Status Bar" is
defaults write com.apple.Safari ShowOverlayStatusBar -bool true
