This is not a problem of a specific browser, but in any of these services that is available for Androidd, users often download junk files that gradually accumulate, occupying megabytes or even gigabytes of space on cell phones, making these work slower, something that can be noticed in the speed with which the information is opened in web browsers.

However, these files do not sit silently on devices, but instead can be cleaned from cache periodically as a way of maintaining the phone.

It should be clarified that this is not a procedure that is done from the Android operating system, but rather it is done from the browser, so in each of them the steps to follow are different.

These are the instructions to clear the cache in the main browsers for Android

Google Chrome

1. In the first step, you must enter the application and then touch the menu option, which are the three points that are located in the upper right part of the screen.

2. Next, you should go to the history and touch “Clear browsing data”.

3. At this point, make sure that the tab right next to “Time Interval” is set to “All” or “Since Always”

4. As a last step, it is necessary to select both “Site and cookie data” and “cached images and files” and then touch “Clear browsing data” and thus get rid of all the saved and unnecessary data.

Samsung Internet

This is the default browser on all Samsung phones for some time, so it is possible that many of its users opt for this option when making queries on the web. Here are the steps to clear the cache in this app.
