How to Clear Your Cache on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge 🧹💻

Your browser stores temporary files like images, scripts, and web data in something called a cache. This helps websites load faster when you visit them again. But over time, the cache can get bloated or outdated, causing:

• ❌ Webpages to break or load incorrectly

• 🐌 Slower browser speed

Clearing your cache gives your browser a fresh start!
