If a laptop battery capacity is cut in half because you turn off caching in a browser that is important information to know, as it suggests the battery times are the result of carefully sterilized conditions that don't withstand the test of real world use. They didn't disable power management or something, they turned off caching in a single app. Come on.
- sdegutis 10y agoThat's not true. The vast majority of people don't turn off caching. The default caching behavior Safari provides is probably tailored to real-life usage. I could be wrong, but I'm assuming Apple isn't that dense.
- richdougherty 10y agoI agree, real world usage is a mix of cached and non-cached. The only time I turn of caching is when I'm debugging a website I'm developing.
- Joky 10y agoThat's fine, as long as you don't say your benchmark is just "regular browsing". Enabling developer options put you outside of what the vendor really tested and optimized for. Also I find quite dubious your claim about `sterilized conditions that don't withstand the test of real world use` based on this. This PR mess also likely 'justifies' the approach of exposing as little knob as possible to the users.
