How often do your reset your browser?

edit, just did

 

[Mr. Amiga500]

What do you mean by "reset"?

 

[darwen]

I think they mean clear out the cache and everything. I hardly ever do it! It is to much of a pain to re enter everything!

 

[mad jew]

Well, in Safari there's an actual reset function, in the Safari menu. It clears the cache and history. It's pretty useful. I do it monthly, like many other things.

Oh, if it's deleting cache and history (never heard it called a "reset" before), then I'd have to say "Now and then". (maybe there should be another option in the poll: "After browsing porn"....uh "After accidentally browsing porn"... yeah, that's it )

What do you have to "re enter"?

 

[PlaceofDis]

rarely, i only ever do it if my browser is acting up for whatever reason. and then its really only for diagnostic purposes.

if you mean clearing sensitive data, i never do it on my MBP. it's my personal computer and i don't see the need.

when i use the computers on campus though, i clear out everything every time.

 

[AdeFowler]

Never. I do empty the cache from time to time though.

whenever 'necessary'

 

[zioxide]

someone needs to edit the poll and add the 'whenever i look at porn' option

 

[atiffarooq]

Never. I don't touch anything which works fine as it is

 

[tobefirst ⚽️]

Veeeeery rarely. I don't feel the need to.

I clear the cache and history probably once every week or so, but I only use the reset menu item if I notice odd behavior and clearing the cache doesn't correct it. I think I might have used it a total of once or twice.

 

[cycocelica]

Never. Don't fix anything thats not broken.

lol!

Like I said...whenever 'necessary'

 

[DoFoT9]

does any1 kno how much space the cache from safari takes up anyway? is there a limit?

Doesn't anyone use "Private Browsing" for that?

I've never used the "Reset" option, but have cleared the history and emptied the cache on a couple of occasions.

Not sure that there is a set limit, actually. Mine's rated at 512KB at the moment, and I last reset it a week ago. Weird.

I just reset Safari and Camino yesterday for the first time in 6 months of having my MacBook, for no apparent reason at all.

 

[TheAnswer]

Just showing how few times I have reset the browser...Is this Reset Safari dialog box new in the Safari 3 Beta or has it been there for a while?

 

[mad jew]

That's new. I don't get that on Safari 2.

 

[eluk]

Only if I have a problem and I think it might help.

 

[DoFoT9]

safari seems to be really consistant and everything. i mean its always worked for me. how does apple even do this??!!!???! i spose MS has the same kinda thing going, i just find that apple aps are really awsome in regards to freezes and failures.
