How do you disable Top Sites entirely?
It is annoying that Apple didn't provide a clear interface in Safari.
Very very poor / inconsiderate design on their part.
It is a multi-step process. ( to expand upon Andy's reply ).
0. Launch Safari and close its windows.
1. Safari's preferences, General tab. Select something other than
"Top Sites" in the new windows and tabs pop-ups. For performance
purposes, I prefer "Empty Page".
2. Safari's preferences, Bookmarks tab. Uncheck "Include Top Sites".
3. Bookmarks window. If the webpage preview thingy is showing, grab
its size slider and push up until it vanishes.
4. Reset Safari dialog. Check "Reset Top Sites" and "Remove all
webpage preview images" and "Empty the cache". For an added
performance kick, check "Remove all website icons". Then hit the
Reset button. Wait about 10 seconds and quit Safari.
If the above doesn't crush that @#$% feature, then look into wiping
out prefs files.
