Browsers like Google Chrome saves information from websites in their cache and cookies.
Cookies are created by the sites you head to on your Chrome browser. Whereas, cache accumulates information like pages and images.
At times, this could impact the loading time of certain sites. Clearing caches and cookies would fix those issues. When cleared, some settings on sites get deleted and might require you to sign in again.
Meanwhile, Google rolled out passkeys to Google account users globally.
