Browser cache

As you go about your daily routine online, your browser accumulates website data - data about what sites you visit, what you download, what you type. And, for the most part, this is helpful. Your Google Search history helps you get back to sites easily, and cookies make that site load faster. If you do a lot of online shopping or get pizza delivered once a week, autofill form data helps you get it done quicker. You can read the news you care about, see ads that actually interest you, and sign in automatically.

However, there’s also the issue of efficiency. If you don’t clear your cache from time to time, you might not see changes on a website (for example custom modifications developed and delivered to your VEVS website) with your computer loading older, locally cached in your browser data. Old, unused extensions can also clutter up your browser, using your RAM and memory.
