You can clear Safari history in Safari. You don't need another app to do that. You also don't need to be clearing any caches, unless you're clearing a particular cache to troubleshoot problems with a specific app.
Lots of software developers make claims that their apps don't fulfill. While OnyX has a good reputation, it's not flawless. The question is, why are you trying to use OnyX to clear Safari history, when Safari can do that without using another app? Safari can even be set to automatically clear history.
When you reset Safari with "Clear history" and "Remove all website data" selected, it does just that. You don't need another app. You can also use "Private Browsing" mode, so it won't store such things, so they don't need to be cleared.
Not true, if you use Private Browsing or clear history and website data.I always thought that even if I use Safary private mode or clear history in Safari that web history such as web address', pictures from websites, data etc is stored elsewhere on the Mac?
Yeah... I saw your post and another persons over on the Cookie forum, so it looks like this is still the case. I ended up just leaving iCloud Safari sync turned off.
The current version of Onyx for use with Yosemite is 3.0.1, you should update Onyx: http://www.titanium.free.fr/onyx.html
I'm quite familiar with Onyx and its claimed purpose. I'm also familiar with the fact that people have various reasons for clearing certain items, including ignorance about whether or not something should be cleared. The fact (2 years ago, when this thread was posted) is that the OP was trying to use Onyx to clear Safari history, when that function is built into Safari. My post answered the question accurately. Some apps, including Onyx, may fail to do all they claim to do. Launching a 3rd party app to clear Safari history is very inefficient compared to selecting a single menu item in Safari itself.
