How to Disable Top Sites in Safari (3 Steps)

Launch Safari. By default, the Top Sites screen is displayed. Hover the cursor over any website thumbnail you never want to be shown. Click the 'X' that appears in the corner to delete it from Top sites.
Click the 'Safari' menu and choose 'Preferences.'
Click the 'General' tab, then click the 'New Windows Open With' menu and change it from 'Top Sites' to any other option, like 'Home Page' or 'Empty Page.' This will stop Safari from displaying your top sites when you launch the browser or open a new tab.
