From time to time, it is good to empty the cache and cookies of the web browser on your phone.In the photo, the Galaxy S21.
The web browser on your Android phone may have accumulated a number of data when browsing the Internet.These data, which generally fill in the cache and cookies for your web browser, can help improve the speed of loading your browser by backing up the resources of the websites that you visit frequently as well as your preferences, for example by allowing you to stayConnected to websites.
However, cookies can also be used by websites to follow your browser history, often in order to offer you personalized advertisements almost wherever you go.(More recently, for my part, I received advertising for glasses after visiting some online stores to compare prices and styles).
Google Chrome
You can delete your cookies and your cache from the Android version of Google Chrome first pressing the plus button in the upper right corner of the browser, symbolized by three vertical points, then on history, and finally on erase navigation data.Read also: Tesla car: Elon Musk presents a new steering wheel with futuristic looks.You can also access it from the Chrome Settings menu, by pressing confidentiality and security, then erase navigation data.
Chrome then offers basic and advanced parameters to erase browsing history, cookies and site data, as well as cache images and files.You can also use the time range drop -down menu to choose to erase all of the history or part of the last 24 hours up to the last four weeks.By clicking on advanced, you can also delete the saved passwords, the data from the automatic filling forms and the site settings, if you wish.After selecting what you want to delete, press the blue button Erase the data, and deletion will be done without any other request, so be sure to delete exactly what you want to delete.

Unlike Google Chrome, the Samsung process to delete your cache and cookies involves a visit to your phone settings, rather than opening the Samsung Internet browser application.
After opening the Settings application, press apps, then scroll to Samsung Internet and press it.Then press storage.
At the bottom of storage, you have separate options to erase the cache and erase the data.If you press erase the cache, it will be immediately deleted, while the Erase the Data option warns you that all application data will be definitively deleted, including files, settings, accounts and basesdata, among others.Although it does not specify cookies, this more nuclear approach should delete all the remaining data and allow you to launch the Samsung Internet browser as if it were brand new.
Mozilla Firefox
Like Google Chrome, you can erase cookies and cache from the Mozilla Firefox Android application.To access it, press the button to the right of the address bar, symbolized again by three vertical points.See also: iPhone iOS 15: release date and new features before updating your iPhone.Then press Settings and scroll until you delete navigation data.

And Firefox has an additional option for those who never want to keep their navigation data once they have finished using the application.Inside the Settings section is an option Delete navigation data at closing, which asks Firefox to erase any combination of these same parameters each time you leave the application.This is a useful function for those who wish to keep the browser in order and avoid accidentally transmitting the history of their navigation to someone who has stolen or obtained access to their phone.
