Today there are several web browsers that allow you to interact with the internet. Each has its own controls and quirks, and web pages will even appear differently depending on which one you are using. Each browser however has a cache that contains the images, data, scripts, history, etc. of the website you are visiting.

Emptying a browser's cache can free up space on your computer and can even give you a slight boost in surf speed (depending on how much data is inside the cache).

1. Click the Wrench icon in the top right of your browser.
2. Choose Options (in Mac, select Preferences) and click the Under the Hood tab.
3. Click Clear Browsing Data and then uncheck everything except Empty the Cache.
