[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 288176"] Well Safari does use cache too. The thing with cache is that I heard that if it isn't cleared and cleaned out once in a while, it can get huge, cluttered and the data in it can get corrupted. I posted this somewhere else but lock down Safari's Icons folder and that'll help the speed too as that folder can become [I]HUGE[/I] if it isn't emptied once in a while. Path to the Icons folder is: [I]Macintosh HD[/I] ---> [I]Users[/I] ---> [I]Your user account[/I] ---> [I]Library[/I] ---> [I]Safari[/I] ---> [I]Icons[/I] How to lock the [I]Icons[/I] folder. There are a few ways you can do that, all with the [I]Get Info[/I] window. How to get to that [I]Get Info[/I]window: [LIST] [*] Click once on the [I]Icons[/I] folder then right-click (or [I]Control[/I] click) and choose [I]Get Info[/I] from the dropdown menu. [*] Click once on the [I]Icons[/I] folder and type [I]Command[/I] (or [I]Apple[/I] key) + [I]i[/I]. [*] Click once on the [I]Icons[/I] folder and go to the Finder's menubar and under [I]File[/I], click on [I]Get Info[/I]. [/LIST] In the [I]Get Info[/I] window, you will find a [I]Ownership & Permissions:[/I] section and you simply choose [I]Read only[/I] in the dropdown menu at the right of [I]You can[/I]. Safari's [I]Icons[/I] folder should now be locked and won't store any favicons from now on. Just remember to empty this folder, now that it's locked, and drag the contents to the trash. Another nifty kewl lil' utility I love is [URL="http://www.santasw.com/"][B]MainMenu[/B][/URL]. Does a lot of the same things as OnyX does but it sits nicely in the menubar. *[I]Phew[/I]* Sorry for the long post... :radioacti [/QUOTE]
