Does clearing cache in one browser affect the other browsers on my computer?

Updated at: May 20, 2024

No, clearing your browser cache, cookies, or browsing history does not affect the cache, cookies, or history on any other web browsers you have on your computer or phone. Web browsers store their temporary data in different locations on your device (and in different formats too), and they are definitely not related to each other.

So you can be confident that if you clear your history in one browser, it won't affect the other browsers on your computer or phone. Chrome's history, cookies, and cache is unrelated to Firefox's, Edge's, and Safari's - and so on.
