Cache
The browser cache is a folder containing copies of some data from the pages that you've visited. The cache usually stores page elements that aren't likely to change often, such as music, videos, images, styles, and scripts. When you open a page you've visited before, the browser doesn't access it on the internet again but loads it from the cache instead. This makes the page open faster and decreases the network load.

in the browser (if you don't see the icon, press the menu button on your smartphone). - Tap Settings.
- Go to the Privacy section.
- Tap Clear data.
- Select Cache.
- Deselect all other options (if you only want to delete the browser cache).

Transfer your cache to an SD card

Note. If this feature isn't available, it means that it isn't supported by your device manufacturer or your Android version. - Automatic cache transfer
-
If the transfer is enabled, your write access to the SD card is checked every time you restart, install, or update the browser. If you have access, the cache will automatically be transferred to your SD card.
- What happens if I remove the SD card
-
If the card is removed, the cache will write to the internal memory of your device.
If the memory card is removed while Yandex Browser is running, the browser will continue working, but the cache won't resume writing until you restart the browser. After restarting, the cache will write to the internal memory of your smartphone.
