If you continually use the browser then the storage space will fill-up rapidly with the website information such as images, login information, and so on. Yesterday, I was browsing a site my friend suggested to me checkout. He suggested that I check out particular news on the website. I have refreshed the website several times but I was not able to find out that news.
I have informed my friend about the problem. He has suggested that I clear the storage space in my browser. I have done the same and reload the website, this time I was able to read that particular news.
