![]() Or possibly you do have some,but they don’t yet advertise that fact using Bonjour. If the only thing you see in your Bonjour list is the “About Bonjour” link,then possibly you don’t have any devices on your local network that areaccessible using a web browser. This is a great idea, except for one big problem:to access the device’s web page, you need to know what IP address to type into your web browser.Even if you know what address to type, typing IPv4 addresses by hand is barely tolerable, andbeing expected to type IPv6 addresses by hand is completely unreasonable.Bonjour solves this problem.Safari displays a list of Bonjour-advertised web pages it finds on the local network.To view a device’s page you simply double-click on its name. Is Apple just doing a clumsy “hard-sell” trying to push its latest “cool” technology?No, there’s a good reason for the Bonjour menu in Safari.Many of today’s network devices, like printers, network cameras, and home gateways,are configured and managed using a web browser.
