Cacheless Chrome App for Mac OS X with disabled cache for SSDs
Your SSD’s Life and Chrome caching its way through it
Like any other browser Chrome will constantly write to your SSD and with each write killing your SSD a little every time. To increase the lifetime of your SSD in your Apple Macbook Air or iMac you need to disable the caching mechanism of Chrome. Other browsers have options to disable file cache. But the guys at Google thought they’d make it easier and include these options as startup parameters. Well this is okay for some operating systems. But not for OS X.

1. Download Cacheless Chrome
This small app named Cacheless-Chrome is based on a simple AppleScript. It disables caches via startup parameters by executing your main Chrome app with them. And voila. No more cache. And you get more SSD life.
2. Installation
After downloading Cacheless Chrome
- just drag it into your Applications folder
- and start it instead of starting Chrome
- you will need to lower your security settings with newer versions of OSX, see here

It will execute Chrome with the parameters described below (point 3.) and it will not create any icon in the dock.
(Tip: use Spotlight to run it or add it to your startup programs). Chrome has pretty good memory management so you can just leave it running after you start it cacheless. I find that I restart Chrome once every 20-25 days on my Mac.
