Use CCleaner and Cookienator. Both free versions work fine.
Since you’ve been so helpful, maybe you can answer another question. How are logins and passwords stored? After clearing my cookies, history and cache, I had to log back in on Free Republic. But when I put my cursor in the field to type my name, it was still there in the dropdown menu. I thought clearing cookies would have also cleared that,
Lots of ways.
Cookies can store stuff including your username and a hash of your password (but unless they're idiots not your actual password).
Browsers can store similar information in lots of other places that are not cookies. One example is your browser's "vault" or some such.
I'm nowhere near as familiar with MacOS, but a lot of the information can be stored in "Library/Preferences."
Some sites and programs use more advanced methods. Way beyond the scope of what I typically post.
A clean VM gets around most of this. Bonus: you can "kill" a VM and start another one at no cost. Just a few clicks once the software is installed. (Again, VMs aren't perfect but they're pretty strong if implemented properly.)
Use CCleaner and Cookienator. Both free version
Thanks.I will check them out.
Bikkuri showed me where to look for the passwords. They are stored in my browser and clearing cookies does not get rid of them.
