Re: Safari memory leak?
Well, you don¡¯t actually know that because different versions of the operating systems have different versions of the Safari browser. Whether the site works somewhere else is irrelevant. Your

Re: Safari memory leak?
Thanks for your suggestions, Chris. I think that what I¡¯ve done on my spouse¡¯s new Mac Air (sporting slightly earlier versions of macOS Sonoma and Safari coming out of its shipping box), with the

Re: Safari memory leak?
My Mac didn¡¯t crash, but its user interface performance deteriorated to a pace that I can only describe as ¡°glacial,¡± at the same time that Activity Monitor noted enormous amounts of RAM being

Re: Safari memory leak?
Try a different browser with the same sites & see what the result is. It may well be a problem with how the site itself is written. cjc

Re: Safari memory leak?
It¡¯s entirely irrelevant how much memory an app from Apple or an OS process is using at any given time. Apple apps and the OS now do very smart memory management. They will cache things like crazy

Re: Safari memory leak?
Thanks for the suggestion, Brent, but my latest post demonstrates (to me at least) that clearing caches and updating Safari to the latest decimal release doesn¡¯t solve the problem, nor does clearing

And doing THAT just adds to my confusion, because here¡¯s what Activity Monitor tells me on my laptop after just it sat undisturbed with the culinary website open for about 1.5 hours while I toiled

Re: Safari memory leak?
Nice food / cooking site. Now I might be talking out of my hat, but it might not be just the silicone. It might also be the component of the OS, namely that version of Safari. It evolves as does the

Re: Safari memory leak?
Unfortunately, having just done that, it appears it did not help. I have my Mac set to reopen last-used apps on reboot. After quitting all my apps and doing the Software Updates, the memory munchers

Safari memory leak?
A few weeks ago I posted here about an apparent memory leak in Safari, evident on my Late 2023 14¡± MacBook Pro with 18 GB RAM (still running Sonoma 14.7), because some Safari processes would grow to

Re: Christmas Question #2
Sorry to be reminded about your crash. Was another vehicle involved and who was at fault? I¡¯m a big fan of road cycling, especially the Grand Tours but rarely ride myself. Oh, and ¡°rubber side

Re: Christmas Question #2
I¡¯m not talking about which platform has more games, but the part about if you can¡¯t tear it down, reconfigure and rebuild it making it a toy. Like I said, different hardware and OS have different

One other data point. My stepson was the first primarily ¡°digital¡± architect hired by the firm where he¡¯s now on track to become senior partner. When he arrived, the firm¡¯s IT department was

Re: Christmas Question #2
I would agree with that, except that the universe of games that run on PCs is hugely larger than what runs also on Macs. But now that Apple flirts frequently with ¡°world¡¯s most valuable

Re: Christmas Question #2
His reasoning is flawed and prejudiced. Certain things are better suited for certain tasks. The course requirement of a Mac is just one example of life, outside of gaming. And the way gaming works is

Re: Setting up new laptop for my spouse
I¡¯ve not had time to do the setup yet on my wife¡¯s machine, but I discovered that the current generation of 1PW (8.x) is not available on the Mac App Store, so that pretty much answers the

Thanks so much. That should do it. Everyone in my stepson¡¯s family has a Mac save for for his gaming wizard son, whose mantra is that if you cannot strip it down to bare metal and build a brand new

Re: Setting up new laptop for my spouse
I thought that I¡¯d read somewhere that 1Password uses subscriptions? If so, then she would be paying an individual subscription at the same time that you are paying for the family subscription. I
