SafaribookmarksSyncAgent High Disk Usage

According to Activity Monitor, SafaribookmarksSyncAgent is by far the top disk usage process--8.32 GB Written and 11.37 GB Read in just 8 hours today, for example. I'm using an M1 iMac with Monterey, but I think this might have been happening with my old iMac as well.


I have deleted all bookmarks and read list items on all my devices.

I have turned off iCloud syncing for Safari on all my devices.

I have re-installed Monterey.


Nothing helps...anyone have any ideas?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Welcome to Apple Support Community.


I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:


  1. Navigate to: https://etrecheck.com and get the free version of EtreCheckPro.
  2. Download it. It is a free and trusted app. It is often recommended here on Apple Support Communities. 
  3. Open EtreCheck, and before running the report, be sure to check “Allow full Drive Access” at the bottom of the EtreCheckPro window.
  4. Run the report, and put it in a post, as shown here: How to use the Add Text Feature When Post… - Apple Community. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.
