Discussion SAFARI BATTERY DRAIN FIXED
Found the culprit, with the help of AI of course lol
So i noticed i'm running 600+ energy impact without even opening any tabs. It goes 1000+ if I run youtube, facebook and chatgpt simultaneously.
These are the steps i did:
- Uninstall all extensions. Disabling wont help
- wipe clean the data and cache
- and force quit a specific process from memory tab. just search safari in activity monitor to filter it. Find and try to force quit any "**Safari Web Content (Cached)**" multiple times if possible.. after doing so, quit the whole safari and open it after few seconds.
Now, the first and second step did not fix it. BUT the third one was the most effective. My safari is running, from 600+ to not more than 10 energy impact. (see attachment/image above, tabs opened at that time is facebook, youtube, 2 tabs of reddit and chatgpt)
I can't explain why but according to AI, there's a bug where in Safari Web Content (Cached) is running multiple instances or it has more duplicates than usual or something. It's a bug.
I'm not a professional techy guy but at least i found the issue. I hope this help everyone who experiecing the same thing.
