It is clear that Safari is the new memory-hog in town, and may well be slowly killing your (non-replaceable) SSD.Ĭlick to expand.In my experience, the high SSD write volumes are mostly due to high usage of swap memory, caused by application memory usage patterns. Having all my work-in-progress ready to go simply by clicking on the tab, but without the cost of the full memory usage while dormant, is a great feature.Īpple needs to offer this feature to Safari at a minimum. The fact you can free memory in inactive tabs (actually a feature built-in to Edge without the need the for a plug-in) works very well for my workflow where I like to have a lot of reference pages open, but don't need to use these all the time. On the plus sides it is stable, doesn't report memory issues with web pages, and has access to the vast selection of Chrome browser plug-ins. It may be *slightly* slower, but not enough to bother me. It seems pretty clear to me that Edge manages memory significantly better and results in far less disk writing, which is a concern for people who are writing >10TB per month to their internal SSD, and potentially shortening the service-life of their Mac. Swap usage generally stayed under 6-7GB and seemed to have less effect on disk writes
