I do not know if you have noticed, but Safari 5.1 in Lion from time to time refreshes the pages automatically when we have not visited them for a while, something that can bother many of you.

En DaringFireball (Via OS X Daily) have made a tutorial on how to avoid it:

  • Open Terminal and put this command: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
  • Restart Safari
  • Disable the "Use Multi-Process Windows" option that is in the Debug menu -the new one-
  • Open a new Safari window and you will see an [SP] next to the title. Done!

Of course, it has certain disadvantages: one is that we lose performance -This function has been copied from Chrome and its individual processes- and another is that some extensions will not work for us, so you will see what is a priority for you.

    Hello! The thing about this is that, as you notice, it drops performance a lot. Now, how do I remove it? Thank you
