Web browsers typically cache tons of data on disk. I wonder if the people with higher usage are all running something other than Safari?

What should possibly make Firefox use disk more heavily on M1 Mac than it does on Linux? I've been using Firefox for decade and it never caused 0.5TBW / day on my Samsung SSDs.

Could be different OS behavior in terms of syncing to disk?
