How to Clear Browsing History and Cache

When you visit a website, your internet browser holds on to information so you can access the website quicker in the future. Over time, that information builds up and can cause your browser to run slowly. You might also experience log in issues. It’s a good idea to clear out your cache, browser history and cookies on a regular basis.

Although your usernames and passwords will be deleted and you’ll have to re-enter them, the upside is your browser will work better and your privacy will be more secure.
