Safari webpage preview fetcher

i'm having a problem with safari (latest version) When it run there is a process called "safari webpage preview fetcher" which takes up 1.31 GB of Ram memory and it's always running. My mac has got 2GB of RAM so it's slow.

I sent it to Apple, but I have not received a response.

Thanks.

HI,

"preview fetcht" is a process that "fetches" TopSites previews.

From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...

From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Empty your cache and Reset Safari once a week.

Carolyn 🙂

If you're like me and don't really use Top Sites, just quit Safari, and copy or type this in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
