Safari has been butt-slow lately and I am thinking about the Reset option.

Will this erase all my bookmarks?

Will it help the speed?



Thanks

    Try deleting Safari's cache.

    According to that, the bookmarks wont be erased. I would hate for that to happen!

    Figure out where the bookmarks are kept in your Library folder and back them up first.

    Reset safari just clears your history, cleans your cache, and deletes cookies. Nothing permanent.

    Cool. thanks.



    By the way, is there an easy way to transfer safari bookmarks to a new computer?
