DICloak supports clearing the cache of browser profiles. You can follow the steps below to clear the cache of a specific profile.
Importance of Clearing Browser Profile Cache
- Privacy Protection: The cache includes data like browsing history, cookies, and LocalStorage, which can be used to track and identify your device. Clearing the cache helps prevent websites from fingerprinting your device, thereby enhancing privacy.
- Prevent Cross-Session Tracking: Clearing the cache can stop websites from sharing information across different browsing sessions, which prevents cross-site and cross-session user tracking. This is particularly important for users managing multiple accounts, engaging in traffic arbitrage, or affiliate marketing, as leftover session data could lead to account bans on platforms.
- Avoid Data Conflicts and Errors: Not clearing the cache for a long time can cause pages to load incorrectly, lead to data conflicts, or result in failed functionalities. Clearing the cache ensures the browser loads the most up-to-date content and prevents issues arising from outdated cached data.
- Improve Browser Performance: Over time, cached data can accumulate and take up significant storage space. Regularly clearing the cache frees up storage and can improve browser speed and performance.
