Bookmarks

Is there a way to change the bookmarks view in Safari? I'm not a fan of the coverflow view, particularly when you can't even see the detail of some web pages.

Thanks in advance for any help

At the bottom of the black area are 3 small lines. Click and drag them all the way up.
This leaves just the search bar.

Click to expand...

This is actually called Top Sites. If you want to disable it completely, here's how:

To completely disable Top Sites, go to Safari > Preferences > General

New windows open with: Top Sites
Change it to something else. Obviously, you can do the same for New Tabs.

(You'll also see Top Sites in the Show All Bookmarks window. Drag that up, don't stop when it first stops moving. It will be reduced to a thin bar.)

Now delete the Image Cache. Choose Safari > Reset Safari... and select Remove All Webpage Preview Images. Click Reset. Now go to YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and select the Webpage Previews folder. Press Cmd-I and click Locked. Now it won't accumulate a jpeg and png of every web page you visit. I saved over 500MB of disk space!
