Safari Caches – How to Permanently Disable Safari Caches

macossafari

I'm disabling the cache from Safari developer menu, but each time I reboot my computer, the cache is re-enabled.

I'm looking for a permanent solution for disabling the cache.

Any ideas?

Best Answer

  1. Empty the cache from the Develop menu.
  2. Quit Safari.
  3. Lock ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db from Finder's Get Info inspector.

This prevents Safari writing to the cache.
