After you quit Safari
Safari data stored on your Mac is deleted automatically, completely and securely in the background – as soon as you quit.
Open Source · macOS · Safari
Your Safari traces. Simply burnt.
Bushfire deletes cookies, history, cache and other Safari data automatically the moment you quit Safari – completely, securely and quietly in the background.
Your Safari
Every session leaves traces.
Visited links, product interests, search terms, search results, downloads – and in the end the complete history of your browsing session. All of it stays on your Mac.
Try it: quit Safari and watch Bushfire clean up.
