Hey there, Fatima Sbeih!
First of all, thank you for sharing this beneficial tutorial on clearing browser cache. It's a subject that can be a lifesaver when dealing with these pesky internet site issues.
Your directions are clear and concise, which is continually appreciated. However, I'd like to add a little something to decorate the experience. For example here I found some great advice on this topic: https://andersenlab.com/industries/financial-services/custom-blockchain-solutions
I've personally encountered situations where I thought I'd cleared my cache but still faced issues. One thing that helped was instructing users to close and reopen their browsers after clearing the cache. This ensures that all cached data is truly wiped clean, giving users a fresh start.
Additionally, it may be helpful to point out that in Firefox, users can selectively clear cache for particular websites through clicking the "Manage Data" button in the Privacy & Security panel.
Thanks again for your contribution
