Reserved for Future browser additions

If you have another browser you use, and think many others do as well,
and would like to post the instructions on how to clear cache with that browser,
please PM the info to me, include screen shots on how to access the settings as I have with the other browsers.

Other builds of the current browsers listed, such as Netscape 6, or Opera 7 series is also welcome.
