The method com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing.Service has written >24GB in the previous few days regardless of I not often use Chrome and Safari.

I might like to seek out out if the information regularly adjustments or is simply fairly large. For that I might have to know the place protected looking knowledge is saved to.

So I used lsof -p 1720 to see all information at the moment opened by com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing.Service. Among the many normally open information, there may be /non-public/var/folders/[a]/[b]/C/com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing/... containing about 27M, a 910th of 24GB.

The method has been operating for 22d and 10h (=538h).

% ps -ax -o etime,command -c | grep 'com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing.Service'
22-10:05:52 com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing.Service

910 refreshes in 538h makes a refresh about each 35 minutes; 24G in 22,5d makes about 1G per day.

Is there a strategy to cut back protected looking knowledge written by this service on Mac Ventura? Over the designated lifespan of that Mac, that’d be 4440G = 4,3T. That is not increadibly insane however an excessive amount of for one thing I barely require (as you may see from the Bytes Learn).
