Library > Safari > History.plist

It won't be very big so why exclude it?

JAMAL · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:34

I was under the impression it might be quite big, perhaps i should forget it then?

I was thinking things like images may get cached?

mr.sly · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:41

Nope that gets cached elsewhere. You might as well leave it, it can't really do any damage.

Mines 104kb

JAMAL · 19 Nov 2009 at 20:43

Ah i will leave it then, thanks for the advice

Are you thinking of your temporary internet files (cache) rather than history of sites visited? Even so, I doubt it's more than 50Mb or so so not worth worrying about.

I'll take an inspired guess at ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db maybe?

my inspired guess is that the user wants to not track any erhem.. lewd websites

No i meant browser cache, images etc

Didn't see the point in them backing up every hour.
