Speed Up Your Browser Experience
Ever feel like your browser's dragging its feet as time goes on? Cookies might be the sneaky little culprits here. Websites often plant cookies designed to last for decades. Over time, as you surf the web, your stash of cookies steadily piles up, easily hitting tens of thousands. Even those sites you visited just once a few months back? They're likely still keeping a couple of cookies cozy in your browser!
To boost the speed of Google Chrome or Opera, consider using EditThisCookie. It can automatically trim down the expiration dates of cookies, ensuring those old websites you've visited don't bog down your browser. Here's how to make it happen:
- Go to EditThisCookie’s options
- Click on “Options”
- Enable “Override the maximum cookie age”. The recommended value is one month.
- Click on “Save”
Hang tight while the process wraps up. This might take a few moments or a couple of minutes, depending on how many cookies are packed into your browser, but once it’s done, you can dive back into browsing as usual.
To truly feel the difference in speed, you'll need to hang tight until the old cookies fade away, which should happen in about a month.
