[BROWSER CACHE] Modern browsers (and in particular Chrome fami | LinuxCheatSheet

[BROWSER CACHE] Modern browsers (and in particular Chrome family) cache a lot of informations.
Sometime you need a completely clean browser just to check that particular feature you deployed on a web site, and you can't delete cookies/cache from the browser you use for daily tasks. One method to do so is to enable 'privacy' mode in the browser, but this has some drawbacks because, at least with firefox, the privacy mode also enable options like 'do not track me'.
If you really want a disposable new browser, use:
chromium --user-data-dir=(temporary directory)
or
firefox -profile (temporary directory)
The below example script can launch both chromium and firefox with a clean profile and will destroy the temporary directory once you close it.
