# How do I clear the cache in Edge, Brave, Arc or Opera on a Mac?

These browsers share the same engine as Chrome, so the steps are similar: open the browser's settings, type **clear browsing data** into its settings search, choose **Cached images and files**, set the time range to all time, and confirm. In many of them **Shift-Command-Delete** opens the same panel directly.

Leave **Cookies** unticked if you don't want to be signed out of websites — the cache is the part that takes space. Each browser keeps its own cache, so clearing one doesn't touch the others. Chrome itself is covered in [clearing the Chrome cache](https://storagestudio.us/faq/mac-storage-basics/how-do-i-clear-the-chrome-cache-on-a-mac).
