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: https://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
