You might also be interested in how much modern browsers write to your SSD, even when idle.

Why would they do that?

[–] reimufumo@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

to save your tabs in case of a crash or for the "restore tabs on open" option

you can disable that or reduce how frequent it is in firefox about:config, but on chromium too bad

Or use a RAM disk with something like Profile sync daemon

Where in the config do you disable that?
