If you’re experiencing issues with websites not working properly, such as videos not loading or links not working, it’s likely not an issue with your Chromebook. Rather, it’s probably an issue with the browser cache or cookies. Clearing them out can help eliminate the problem, and it’s a quick fix that can solve a lot of issues on websites.
To clear your cache and cookies on Chromebook, go to the three lines in the top right corner of your browser, which will take you to the tools tab. From there, go to “More tools” and then “Clear browsing data.” You’ll have the option to clear your browsing history, cookies, and cached images and files. For students, browsing history will be grayed out, but you can still clear cookies and cached images and files.
It’s important to make sure that you’re clearing data from “all time” rather than just the last hour or last 24 hours. This is because websites store information on your computer, and this stored information can interfere with new information coming in. Clearing your cookies and cache can help prevent this from happening.
By taking a few simple steps to clear your cookies and cache on your Chromebook, you can quickly solve a lot of website issues. Next time you’re experiencing problems with a website, try clearing your cookies and cache before anything else. It may just be the quick fix you need.
