Just Learned about Flash Block and will try it that Adobe flash keeps killing the Browsers as well -
Was at 300Mb now at 6.58GB after shutting down browsers and restarting. That¹s quite a big cache - will try to reopen sites and shee what happens. In activity Monitor about 102% of Cpu goes to the Browser - not sure how that happens. Left off the machine info since I thought that was extraneous. Have G4 AGP/1.5GHz/ 2MB ram/OS 10.4/ Safari 4.04 No real add-ons for safari - Sometimes use Firefox with ad blocker. Any other reccomendatiosn for add-ons? I usually have 10 or so pages with multiple tabs. I also tend to leave the app open rather than closing and reloading frequently but it happens about one a week due to app freezing now think it is due to lack of HD space which seems odd for this app to be using so much space.
