Beyond viewing web pages, browsers are also designed to download web pages and store (cache) them on your hard drive. The next time you revisit the same web page, the locally stored version of the web page is loaded. This repository of text, images sounds and cookies will have an unintended consequence.  As your hard drive fills with files, which is a  history of your travels through the web, the quantity of stored files may slow down your system. Its best to periodically clear your browser cache.
