Safari Speedup
I’d been annoyed lately by slow performance in my web browser of choice, Safari. It still loaded quickly enough and all, but had developed the habit of freezing for a few seconds shortly after bringing up a page. See? Annoying.
The solution, as it turns out, was right in front of me — in the Safari menu. “Reset Safari…” clears the history, Google search history, cache, cookies, and form field entries all in one go. Doing this took about two minutes on my system (after two years of particularly heavy web browsing). Now I have to log back in to all my favorite online services, but the benefit is a much faster web browsing experience.
