Whenever you notice your speeds dwindling and your browser creeping, you want to clean your browser.
Browser cleaning only takes about three minutes, and if you aren't currently performing this simple cleaning step, you should add it to your weekly to-do list. Your browser stores information and can get overloaded, so cookies, cache and history need to to be deleted in order for your browser to be refreshed and regenerated - sort of like what sleep does for us!
Here are the simple steps for cleaning the top three internet browsers:
Internet Explorer
- Open your internet browser, and in the top right corner, you will see a wheel.
- Click and open "internet options."
- Another window will open; in the middle, select "delete" under the browsing history.
- Select which items you want to delete - most or all of them - and click "delete."
Mozilla Firefox
Open your internet browser and select "tools."- Another window will open; select what items you want to delete. Again, most or all of them.
- Click "clear now."
Google Chrome
- Open your internet browser and click on the wrench in the top right corner.
- Go to "options" and "under the hood.
" - At the top, select "clear browsing data."
- Another window will open where you can select which items you want to clean. I suggest selecting most or all of them.
Cleaning isn't ever fun I suppose, but at least this cleaning doesn't take much time and you will save time browsing when you are finished cleaning!

Thanks for the quick tips for an easy fix
Good suggestions Amy. I have been using software called "CCleaner" from Piriform. Does an excellent job and it is free. Go to CCleaner.com you can pay if you want all the bells and whistles. I use the free version and it works great. I also use it to keep registry clean and not bogged down.
Thank you, Scott
Amy, Thanks for the reminder. I used to do this and it really helps. I don't know why I stopped doing it. I will have to start again.
Thanks Amy. yes, I seem to run into that issue too often. Thank you for the great tips as this should speed things up.
It's one of those things I know about but forget to do. Thanks for the reminder.
