How often do you clear your browser cache

  • Every time I shut down the browser

  • On a schedule - weekly, monthly, etc...

  • Whenever the mood strikes me

  • Never. I don't care who sees what I do on line and it doesn't affect my performance

"Whenever the mood strikes me", though it's not very often.
I'm trying out a new FF addon so i just did it a few days ago.

My browser is set to clear my history and cache every time on exit. I also have it set to never remember forms, download history, saved passwords, etc.

What are the issues? I presume it must be security risks, maybe performance issues, inconveniences of one form or another, ?

When something is broken and I'm troubleshooting. That's pretty much it. If I need to do some private browsing I open an Incognito Window in Chrome.

used to do it a lot due to limited hard drive space

never do it now though

I also use Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox, so it could be a matter of laziness
