Why Three Microsoft Browsers Listed In CCleaner ?

I use ccleaner like a lot of other people and wonder why "Edge Chromium" is listed when it was superseeded by "Microsoft Edge" ?

Also I'm hoping that "Internet Explorer" will disappear from the options at some stage.

Haven't used CCleaner in awhile. Does FF and Chrome show up and/or the effectiveness cleaning those ?

The "Temporary Internet Files" folder isn't just used by Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will be retired but many applications use some of it's components and I don't expect they will be removed anytime soon. As long as the folder may still be used I expect CCleaner will provide the means to clean it.

MS Edge, Edge Chromium, Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, System and Advanced show up on the Windows tab.
Firefox, (and I assume Chrome), Internet, Multimedia, Utilities and Windows, show up on the Applications tab.

Yes, I was just curious about the effectiveness. Should have specified Applications.

Last time I used CCleaner had an issue with removing Chrome cookies though I had all appropriate boxes checked. Didn't really research thoroughly.

I use Firefox, and CCleaner seems effective for that. It also has a white list for cookies you want to keep.

I have it set like this for Firefox...

Thanks for the info !
