Created Tech | How To SAVE Your Mac's SSD! (M1 Swap Memory Issue/Browser Disk Caching) @CreatedTech | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
You may be aware of some Mac users reporting excessive data being written to their internal SSD. In a previous video, I determined that although swap memory can cause this, the browser disk write cache can also write a huge amount if you watch a lot of Youtube videos or similar streamed content. In this video I show you how to disable this feature on several popular third-party browsers, including Chrome, Brave, Opera, Firefox, and Edge. I am using the current M1 Mac versions of these browsers.
Click and download Filmora Mac version for FREE from the official website: bit.ly/2PvyVIT
Paste into Chrome (also works on Brave/Opera): chrome://flags/#turn-off-streaming-media-caching-always
IF YOU HAVE ISSUES PASTING THE ABOVE, DELETE THE #, COPY AND PASTE INTO YOUR BROWSER SEARCH BAR, AND THEN RE-ADD THE # BEFORE turn-off
