Administrator DKT27 Posted March 6, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2013 Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and Chrome is four browsers, not three. LoL.Safari is killed by Apple for Windows. IE shouldn't even be considered. Opera killed it's own identity by switching to Webkit, which leaves us with one, Chrome. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zex Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I tried this last week on IE 9, 10 and it stopped working after 4 GB of data. :huh: ^_^Also its said that Chrome crashes after some period of time when you try this, so probably it can't fill disk to the max. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 They most certainly are not :D But it seems clicking "stop the madness" won't delete all of those files, since I've still got some left in there. I had to delete them manually to get disk space back (over 300 MB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Almost every file will be deleted if the browser is closed completely, i had only 2 remaining. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
