Hello,
I just wanted to enable WebGL after I switched it off due to high Safari CPU usage.
The problem is, that the "Enable WebGL" option is no longer in my Develop menu?
My safari is updated to Version 8.0.7 so that shouldn't be the problem.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)
It's no longer available from the Develop menu. Possibly due to the Safari 8.0.7 update.
High CPU usage with Safari could be a caused by a Safari extension, plug-in, or cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
Thank you for your quick answer.
I fixed the problem now. While trying out your ideas on how to fix the problem I found out that the "Enable WebGL" is as you said not longer in the Develop menu but in Preferences > Security.
Thank you anyways. If you haven't told me to got look at the security tab I wouldn't have found it 🙂
That's one way to do it 😉
I completely forgot that they changed that to the Prefernces > Security pane. Thamk you for the heads up! You helped me as well.
Enable WebGL not in Develop menu?
