Love to play with Windows 11 and 10. Suggestion - Going for Registry change or system files edit then remember to take a backup or create a restore point before Starting.

  1. There is a much easier way to do this once you have the settings in place. Just type brave://settings/clearBrowserData in the URL and save it as a bookmark. When you are done surfing, click the bookmark and you can clean everything immediately without going to menus and sub-menus.

  2. Is there a way to clear selected cookies in the browser? I don’t want to scour the database just to get rid of Facebook and Twitter…

  3. Use Ctrl + Shift + Del Shortcut.

    I am using Duckduckgo in Brave. Is there a way to put an icon on the header so I can CLEAR THE CACHE at more or less any time when browsing the web?
